West Bradford Day

West Bradford Day

A few weeks ago my mom discovered a special event that was being held in my hometown. FREE pony rides and petting zoo is pretty much all you had to say to get my sister and I super excited!

West Bradford Day

First thing we did was head straight to the petting zoo. Unfortunately I had to wait outside, because apparently animals don’t like to be pet by other animals (weird right?).

West Bradford Day

While I waited patiently outside for my sister to get her fill of donkeys, ducks, chickens, goats, llamas, and more…I noticed this fluffy rock giving me the stink eye something fierce.

West Bradford Day

Yea, I’m pretty sure he wanted me dead. So needless to say I didn’t stick around too long to find out! (he must have been the black sheep of the bunch!)

West Bradford Day

Next we headed over to the pony rides. While waiting in line I started my own petting zoo. At least I don’t give the stink eye, which I’m pretty sure all the children greatly appreciated.

My favorite part though…..was the firefighter obstacle course. Seriously how cool is that! Only downside is that the fireman forgot to pack their dachshund sized fire fighting gear. Go figure.

West Bradford Day

At least I got to pose with the truck! I’m pretty sure I now want to be a firefighter when I grow up. (or at the very least master that obstacle course next year!!)

What do you think, would I make a good firefighter?

Adventures in Petco

Adventures in Petco

Back in September I went on a very important adventure with my sister that I forgot to share. How could I forget? We went to Petco!

Adventures in Petco

It’s arguably one of the most important trips in a young baby’s life. I mean how else is she going to know where to shop for me?

Adventures in Petco

While I was there I even got to pick out a FREE pound of cookies thanks to the Birthday club. I never say no to cookies. And lucky for me my sister doesn’t eat cookies, so I didn’t even have to share.

Adventures in Petco

Now sister, we are going to go through every square inch of this store while I explain to you which are the best treats & toys. It’s going to take a while, but be oh-so-worth it for your education. You can thank me when you’re older.

What do you think my sister will get me for Christmas?

P.S. If you’re wondering more about the food I’ve picked up at the store, read all about my favorite toys, treats, food & more on my gear page.

An App to Help You Manage All Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

If your mom is anything like mine then she saves EVERYTHING related to my health and care. Over the past 7 years mom has amassed quite a filing cabinet on me. What if I told you there is a much better way to store and manage all those vet documents thanks to my friends at PensterDocs!

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

The PensterDocs App is a FREE DOWNLOAD in the App store & Google Play that can help you track your pet records, find pet services near you, and even interact with your pet community.

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

With PensterDocs you can add as many pets as you like to keep track of their records. They have pre-set vaccines already listed for dogs, cats, and birds, and even though you couldn’t add a “horse” to the App mom found that we could still add in my pony friends and just create custom “horsey” vaccines for them as a way to track their medical records too.

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

So not only can you plug in your pet’s vital information and vaccine records (which have a handy feature to send you a reminder when it’s time for your pet to be vaccinated again), but you can also add photos of all your documents too. Mom photographed some of my vet receipts for vaccines and added them to the records. So not only does it keep everything nice and organized, but it has all your pet’s records with you no matter where you go, and you can even print and e-mail them from your phone.

So should you ever end up at the emergency vet clinic when you’re out of town (paws crossed you never do), you can pull up all your pet’s records at the touch of a button!

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

A helpful feature is the ability to add notes for each pet. Here you could keep track of things like you noticed a limp in your dog, or they got their nails trimmed or taken to the groomer. I’m hoping they add the ability to add photos to notes too in the future, because it would be really neat to use it as a way to track injuries or skin growths on your pet (to check for any skin changes).

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

Another really cool feature about the App is the pet services locater. No matter where you are you can pull up a list of nearby veterinarians, kennels, groomers, dog parks, and rescue centers.

No more pre-searching area pet emergency centers when you head out on a road trip, you can instantly find one should you ever need it while on vacation and with a touch of the button give them a call or find driving directions. What an awesome feature!

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

PensterDocs also has a fun community features where you can post pictures of your pets to share with other members. Like, comment, and make new friends through the app which has a similar feel to instagram (minus the filters!).

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

The very best part about this app from PensterDocs is that it’s completely FREE! So what are you waiting for, download it today from the App Store or in Google Play for Android!

Nylon Dog Bone Chews with an Extra Kick + A Giveaway

Posted on May 9, 2016 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Pet Qwerks. All opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your pets will love!

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

My new friends over at Pet Qwerks recently came out with a new dog chew called the Flavorit™ that I think your dogs are going to love! Now if your dog likes to chew (as most dogs do), this is a new Nylon bone that they’re going to love sinking their teeth into.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit comes in 8 different flavors that are infused into the nylon bones and is available in 4 sizes. They also come in a Flex version for moderate chewers as well as the standard version for tough chewers.

Since I’m a very aggressive chewer I decided to start out with the standard version (later I did test out the Flex, but it’s not the best fit for me since I am so aggressive with my chewing).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Now you may have noticed the tiny little holes on each side of the Flavorit. They are what make this nylon bone so unique! Not only is each bone flavored as is, but you can also fill each of these tiny flavor cells with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cheese, cream cheese or anything else soft.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Both sides of the Flavorit have a concave design so that the messy treats you put on your bone end up in your dog’s mouth (or the bone) and not on the carpet. Mom found it helpful to wipe off any excess peanut butter with a paper towel before she gave it to me so that I for sure wouldn’t make a mess on anything I wasn’t supposed to.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

I have to say the standard Flavorit held up quite well to my big chompers, and the added peanut butter flavor (which is my favorite) really kept me busy for quite some time.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Mom even let me chew on it on her brand-new carpet….and it really was mess-free! (or I would of been in big trouble).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit is made in the USA of 100% nylon and is even dishwasher safe (if your dog can’t get all the flavor out on their own!).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

So if you’ve got a dog that loves to chew, or a dog that needs a little boredom busting in their life, then you might want to check out the new Flavorit from Pet Qwerks! You can even save 20% with code flavorit20

And now for the best part!

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

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…..

A Wireless Camera to Help Train your Dog + A Giveaway

You guys had so much fun seeing me “caught on camera” last month that I’m back with another installment! You may remember that the Vimtag Wireless Video Monitor System showed up at my house a month or so ago. Well, ever since it’s arrival I’ve found myself getting into a little more trouble than usual.

Since the Vimtag camera lets my parents check up on me 24/7 via their smartphones I pretty much can’t get away with anything anymore. And I was really hoping they wouldn’t find out about a few things…

Naught Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag + A Giveaway

Until the Vimtag camera came along mom and dad had no idea that I like to get a little “frisky” with a certain someone’s pillow when they are gone. (sorry dad, I thought you’d never see this!).

Naught Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag + A Giveaway

I mean, do you really blame me, magazines are way more fun to play with than dog toys!

It’s really hard to deny these little indiscretions when mom had physical proof in the form of timestamped pictures from Vimtag….

Read all about my adventures with Vimtag, and the array of uses my mom has found for this wireless video monitor. You can snag your own Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera from Amazon to catch your own naughty dog in the act! (and I am not responsible for any dogs that get in trouble!)

Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Posted on February 8, 2016 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway are brought to you by Bark Solution. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

I am a Dachshund. And being a Dachshund means that I do have one distinct trait (ok aside from being short) that makes me like all the other Dachshunds out there…..I like to bark. Not just an occasional alert bark to let you know someone is at the door, more like I could sit and bark out the window for a good solid hour at the same thing.

Does your dog like to do this too? Yeah, it’s pretty fun right?

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Well apparently I’ve been informed that the humans don’t really like all that barking. (shocker right?) Sometimes when I’m barking the humans like to join in too by yelling at me to stop. But did you know that when you do this I just think you’re barking with me, which reinforces that I’m doing a good job and we should definitely be barking at something!

Recently my parents were introduced to a new product called Bark Solution that’s supposed to help the humans in telling us dogs that it’s not really appropriate to be barking.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Now I’d never enforce a product on my blog that was ever cruel or inhumane to animals, which lets face it, a lot of those “barking solutions” out there are just that (shock collars, sprays, etc), but Bark Solution is none of those things.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Bark Solution is simply a metal can filled with things that make a loud racket. So all you have to do when your dog is barking (and you don’t want them to be) is shake the can to interrupt their barking pattern.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Now us dogs, we’re designed to protect the humans (goodness knows they aren’t very good at protecting themselves), so the Bark Solution isn’t going to stop your dog from barking all together. But I did notice that when my parents shook it, it would distract me enough that eventually I sort of forgot what I was barking at all together.

A video posted by Dog & Pony Adventures (@kyleydiluigi) on Feb 6, 2016 at 9:18am PST

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

*A helpful tip my parents found was that if they sort of snuck up on me with the Bark Solution it worked quicker in interrupting my barking pattern.

So if you’re looking for a way to humanely cut down on the amount of barking your dog does (without having to use harsh products or spending your day yelling at your dog), then you might want to check out Bark Solution.

My parents loved that it kept them from having to yell at me to stop barking all day, and lets face it, that doesn’t really work anyway.

You can also purchase this product on Amazon.

And P.S. isn’t the super fun retro packaging so cool too!
