Farm Lookouts

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Ammo

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

As barn dogs, there is always a lot of tasks for Trooper and I to do. And to be honest, this farm just wouldn’t run properly without us.

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

Trooper is always on my case to help him be a lookout. “Lookout for low flying birds” “Lookout for cars pulling down the farm driveway” “Lookout for anything suspicious and out of the ordinary”

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

I on the other hand usually have my own ideas about what we should be actually looking out for.

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

What about “Lookout for the snakes that accidentally get baled in the hay”

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

Or “Lookout for yummy missed poop in the pony stalls”

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

“Lookout for people in boots who might mistakenly step on you”

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

And “Lookout for ponies who look cute, but are really thinking maybe they didn’t get enough to eat”.

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

So Trooper can keep a lookout for strangers who might want to brush our ponies (the horror), and whatever other boring stuff he comes up with….

Barn Dogs Get Busy on the Farm

…and I’ll continue to lookout for the important stuff. Because we all know that pony poop isn’t going anywhere except for my belly!

February is National Pet Dental Care Month

Posted on February 15, 2016 by Ammo

Since February is the month dedicated to dental care for pets I thought it would be fun to check out all the ways I’ve kept up with my oral health over the years. #NationalPetOralHealthCareMonth

Emmi-Pet Dog Dental Toothbrush Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Emmi-Pet is an electric dental tooth brush designed for pets that cleans teeth without the need of vibration. While I found this to be a great tool, I sort of fell off the wagon when it came to keeping up with brushing regularly (I know, shame on me). Fetch the Emmi-Pet Toothbrush.

Clean Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund

I tried the Tropiclean Teeth Gel for a time, it’s a great way to add some cleaning power to your dog’s teeth without the need to use a toothbrush. You can even spread it onto your dog’s chew toys. I did thoroughly enjoy this cleaning method, but again I wasn’t great about keeping up with a routine. Fetch the Tropiclean Teeth Gel.

How to Maintain your Dog's Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund // Pet Dental Health Month

Mom even used a pet dental scraper on me. This is a great way to remove plaque buildup, and something I still have done on occasion when my plaque buildup gets noticeable. Fetch a Pet Dental Scraper.

How to Maintain your Dog's Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund // Pet Dental Health Month

Dental Chews are another great way to fight plaque if your dog likes to chew on them. I tend to be really interested in them at first, but eventually loose interest in the toys after a few weeks. One of my favorite chew toys that I have remained in is the Benebone which encourages me to chew on a regular basis (and I use it almost every night). Fetch a Benebone Dental Chew.

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

My absolute favorite way to keep my teeth looking sparkly is with dental chews. Lately I’ve been snacking on these Zuke’s Z-Bones Dental Chews from Chewy.com. Seriously what’s better than cleaning your teeth by eating something delicious!

Key Benefits of Zuke’s Z-Bones in Clean Berry Crisp

Potato and pea-based formula which is highly digestible
Alfalfa, parsley, rosemary, and fennel naturally freshen breath by supporting digestion
Helps polish teeth, freshen breath, and maintain healthy gums
Nutrient-rich cherries are a powerful source of antioxidants
Available in four sizes to accommodate all dogs 10 lbs or larger
Made in the USA!

My mom’s favorite part about these chews is that not only do they help clean my teeth and freshen my breath, but they also contain Turmeric. You may have heard me mention this ingredient before, but it’s been studied for its antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and can help prevent cancer in your pet. That’s a big plus in my book!

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

So while I’ll continue to do my best in keeping my teeth healthy and clean, I most certainly won’t give up my daily dental chews…..it’s my favorite part of the day!

Grab some Zuke’s Z-Bones from my friends at Chewy.com! #ChewyInfluencer
