I Wonder Where You Came From // Ammo the Dachshund Reviews The Honest Kitchen Wonders Pet Treats

Every now and then a new box of treats shows up at my door, and when it’s from my friends at The Honest Kitchen, you know it’s going to be a good day.

If you weren’t already aware, The Honest Kitchen makes dehydrated pet food and treats for dogs and cats that I myself eat on a regular basis. You may have caught some of my previous product reviews with their foods on the blog.

Well these Wonders treats are no exception to The Honest Kitchen’s great line, and these bits of Pollock skin sourced from the Faroe Islands were just too fishy for me to resist.

Just when I thought I would be snacking on my own…..

How Does your Garden Grow?

I like to think I’m a pretty health conscious pup. I eat grain-free, exercise regularly, and I try to only snack on things that are good for me.

So imagine how thrilled I was when my monthly box of goodies from Barkbox popped up in mom’s garden! (I knew that magic horse poop was good for something!)

How Does your Garden Grow? May Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

This month’s Barkbox celebrates healthy (but still delicious) eating, inspired by the finds from your favorite farmer’s markets.

How Does your Garden Grow? May Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Packed full of good-for-your-dog items this month’s box contained items that were organic, GMO-free and eco-friendly sourced toys.

How Does your Garden Grow? May Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom says she never has to worry about checking the ingredients when my Barkbox arrives because their edible products do not include rawhide (or anything processed with formaldehyde), have minimal processing with no glycerin whenever possible, no wheat, gluten, soy, or corn, and are filler-free as well as organic whenever possible.

Not to mention all treats are sourced from the USA and Canada, and chews are sourced from the USA, Canada, South America, Australia and New Zealand.

So with minimal watering, this month’s Barkbox popped up an eco-friendly carrot squeaky toy from P.L.A.Y., a Caitec ball toy that had a fun and innovative squeak (and has held up to my chompers thus far), Apple Cobbler organic and GMO-free cookies from Snicky Snacks, Plato Organic Chicken treats, and a Barkworthies 100% beef bully stick.

Who knew eating healthy could be so yummy!

Of course I went straight for the bully stick!

Road Trip with Ammo – Dog Friendly Shopping in North Carolina

Yesterday you learned all about my 10 hour road trip which plopped me down in Asheville, North Carolina. Well, I’m back to share with you some more of my thanksgiving vacation adventure, more specifically….shopping!

Road Trip with Ammo the Dachshund // Pet Friendly Shopping in Asheville, North Carolina

When I awoke in the hotel the next morning I was so excited to start my new adventure that I bolted out of bed.

Ok just kidding, you know me too well…..I slowly dragged myself from my snuggle fortress; I am so not a morning dog. But once I got going it turned out to be a glorious day in downtown Asheville.

I was super surprised to learn that most of the shops in Asheville were pet friendly, and not just the ones that sold dog items.

One of my pit stops was the Funky Mutt, a tiny pet shop with a big attitude…..just like me!

One of my must-go places while visiting Asheville was the Three Dog Bakery.

They must of known I was coming, because they decorated the shop with my brethren so that I would feel welcome.

Trooper and I wasted no time in picking out some delectable treats to bring home. I went straight for the peanut butter balls!

Trooper was VERY excited!

Next door to the Three Dog Bakery I popped into the ZaPow! Gallery to soak up some of the local art. It’s a talented bunch in this state!

Then it was off to the ever enchanting Battery Park Champagne Lounge and Book Exchange.

It was here that I met Jonsie, a local pup who frequented the establishment nearly every day with his owner.

I tried my best to fit in with this sophisticated crowd in the Champagne Lounge, and I’m sure if I lived in Asheville I would be dawning a smoking jacket in no time.

Overall my shopping experience in Downtown Asheville was delightful. I’m sure in warmer weather (during my visit it was about 60 degrees) the streets would be bustling with patrons and their pets. I can’t wait to visit again soon.

Check back tomorrow to hear about all of my hiking adventures in Asheville! Ammo the Dachshund

Low Fat Carrot Dog Treats from Dog Treat Recipes 

Ammo the Dachshund // Birthday Week // Carrot and Banana Dog Treat Recipe

Image via 17 Apart

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium banana (ripe)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applejuice
  • 1/8 cup water (maybe more, as needed)
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (keep some handy for rolling)
  • 1 cup rolled oats

Ammo the Dachshund // Birthday Week // Carrot and Banana Dog Treat Recipe
Image via 17 Apart

Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, lightly spraying a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkling a little flour onto the surface you’re planning to use to roll out the dough. In a medium bowl, mash up the banana and mix in the shredded carrots. Then add water and apple juice. Stir. Next, add the oats and flour. Stir all of the ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined.

Using your hands, knead the mixture until a dough forms. Dump the dough onto the lightly floured surface that you prepared earlier. Roll it out until it’s about a half inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut into 3″ pieces. Place the pieces onto your lightly sprayed baking sheet. Bake the dog treats for 25 minutes.

Before “serving”, let them cool completely. Here’s a tip that you may find useful: If your dog likes a little more crunch to his treats, then turn off the oven and let the treats cool there overnight.

 

I don’t know about you, but I’m totally drooling! Ammo the Dachshund
