Bugsy’s Box Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This product review & giveaway is sponsored by Bugsy’s Box.

A couple months ago I received a package in the mail from the monthly subscription service Bugsy’s Box to test out.

Bugsy Box Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Like most subscription services you can choose a box for the size dog you have and each month Bugsy’s Box will mail you a package of goodies to your doorstep.

Each monthly box is filled with 5 to 7 items which are a variety of high quality, hand picked, well reviewed dog treats, toys, care items, healthy supplements, accessories and more surprises such as coupons which are often included as a bonus.

Mine was packed with 7 delightful goodies, lets take a look at what I got….

VetraCare Liquid Bandage – VetraCare Ear Wipes – Healthy Dogma Treats – Pupato Chips

Mom thought it was neat that the box came with some veterinary care items, as it’s always nice to have things like that on hand just incase of an emergency. (Paws crossed we never actually need to use it though). Some of the products I had come across before, while others were new to me, but all of them seemed to be healthy and appropriate items for me. All of the items are also made in the USA or Canada.

Of course I wasted no time in digging into a few of my favorites! Yum!

Friday Fetch: An Island for your Dog

Posted on by

Wouldn’t it be cool to have your own personal island? Well now your pet can, sort of. See Scout Sleep has created pet islands. They are meant to be used on your beloved chair or sofa to help protect your little buddy’s favorite spot. They may also be used on the floor. Great for small dogs and cats, I’m pretty sure my mom and dad would appreciate me napping on one of these instead of the white sofa!

Throwback Thursday: Tail Chasing

Posted on by

I’ve always been quite good at entertaining myself, even when I was a young pup I found many ways to amuse myself while working long hours at the shop with mom.

And when you don’t have a toy on hand, there’s always a built in one on your own back end!

I was about 6 months old in this video, and to this day I still like chasing my tail sometimes!

Does your dog chase his tail?

I’m being watched

Do you ever get the feeling like you are being watched?

I feel like that a lot actually. It’s like no matter what way I turn there is someone looking over my shoulder.

Oh I should of known! My gal Cricket is always tailing me!

Snowballs and winter fun

Posted on by

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Last weekend on the farm we had some lingering snow, the kind of snow that was perfect for snowballs! Trooper and I wasted no time in having a little game out of who could catch the most.

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

After a few failed attempts on my part to catch said snowballs (it would probably help if I opened my eyes when trying to catch them), it was evident that Trooper was going to come out on top with this one.

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

What can I say, my best friend is a natural!

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

You know as much as we all want to complain about the winter with all the snow and the cold, there is just something magical about running through the snow, catching snowballs, and bundling up until you can hardly move!

Even our farm neighbor, Bella the Bernese Mountain Dog decided to stop by for some wintertime fun!

Unfortunately despite all my winter gear, I still lack the natural winter protection that my friend Bella is so blessed with. So I was off to the car to warm up for a bit!

Sorry Bella, our winter fun will have to wait until I thaw out some!Ammo the Dachshund

Noodle & Friends Stroodle

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review is a sponsored post by Noodle & Friends.

My friends over at Noodle and Friends recently sent me one of their new microfleece sweaters to test out. They must have known that it’s been bitterly cold here in Pennsylvania, reaching into the single digit temperatures just last week!

Noodle and Friends Stroodle // Ammo the Dachshund

This “Stroodle” as it’s called, was just what I needed to give me that extra added warmth in this cold weather.

The Noodle Stroodle is a luxe microfleece lounging sweater designed just for dachshunds. Like a second skin, it’s perfect for indoor lounging, napping and playing when your thermostat might be set a bit too low (which according to us dachshunds is ALL THE TIME).

Noodle and Friends Stroodle // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m wearing the medium size, which surprisingly fit my chest and under belly perfectly and it isn’t even hard to get into at all. It’s hard to find a dachshund fleece that fits our bodies so snuggly.

The Stroodle comes in 4 sizes and colors from petal pink, sky blue (which is what I’m wearing), cherry red, and navy blue.

Noodle and Friends Stroodle // Ammo the Dachshund

The Stroodle was so comfy, that I was ready for nap time almost instantly.

Even though the Stroodle is designed to be an indoor lounging coat, I’ve find it to be quite useful as an extra layer when I’m on the farm.

Wearing the Stroodle under my Noodle and Friends Blizzard Parka gives me that extra warmth I need to be on the farm helping with chores.

Ok well maybe chores isn’t the right word, hunting expeditions might be more like it!

You can fetch your own Stroodle from Noodle and Friends for $35.

Born Pretty Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is a sponsored post by Born Pretty.

The website, Born Pretty, recently launched a new line of pet products and asked if I would like to test some of them out.

I browsed through their online shop which had a lot of variety of items, most of which were at pretty reasonable prices – and they even offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING! From winter coats, to light up collars, toys and more – I had a tough time deciding what to test out.

Born Pretty Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I finally landed on this treat launcher (which I’ve always wanted to try) and this interesting rubber egg dog toy.

The rubber egg didn’t come with any packaging and the online description wasn’t very informative other than to say that it was resistant to dog bites. Since I’m such a tough chewer mom decided not to let me play with the egg since she couldn’t determine if it might easily break apart or harm me if I swallowed any pieces.

That’s ok though, because the toy I really wanted to test out was the treat launcher! And after a quick wash (as suggested on the back of the package) I was ready to launch some treats!

I had a little trouble locating those flying cookies, but I’m sure with a bit more practice I will totally get the hang of it!

The launcher works a bit easier if you don’t over-fill it with treats, but regardless it was still fun to play with. How can you not like a toy that shoots cookies into the air?

Also because of this winners prizes may take 3 – 5 weeks to arrive.
