Friday Fetch: All Dog Boots

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Ammo

Winter is here, and it has me thinking…..maybe I need some snow boots? Winter can be harsh on dog paws, especially with all the salt & snow on the ground. Now although I’ve never tried them before, I’ve rounded up a few boot styles from the All Dog Boots shop that I think look promising, even for stubby little dachshund feet.

Friday Fetch: Richards Harness Coat

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Ammo

Now that the winter weather is here, it’s time for me to really start bundling up in my layers, especially on the farm. One of the things that always plagues me is that I not only end up layering multiple coats to stay warm, but I also have to fit in a harness somewhere too.

So when I came across Richards Harness Coat I thought, now why didn’t I think of that!? Never mind the fact that I can’t sew (it’s those cumbersome paws)!

Featuring winter coats, rain coats, and more – all with built in harnesses – these coats come in a variety of sizes to fit small to large dogs. They even have extra long sizes, for all those extra long dogs!

Friday Fetch: Architecture for Dogs

Posted on November 16, 2012 by Ammo

It’s no secret that I’m a lover of art and design, so when I stumbled across Architecture for Dogs I was mesmerized.

From Architecture for Dogs:
Architecture for Dogs, invented by architects and designers, is an extremely sincere collection of architecture and a new medium, which make dogs and their people happy. Dogs are people’s partners, living right beside them, but they are also animals that humans, through crossbreeding, have created in multitudes of breeds. Reexamining these close partners with fresh eyes may be a chance to reexamine both human beings themselves and the natural environment.

Each of their 13 designs are available for download in a blueprint format so that you can build the projects yourself.

The Architecture for Dogs Exhibition opens to the public on December 6, 2012 in the Miami Design District. For more information check out their website.

Each design is crafted with the dog in mind. For instance, a hammock for Jack Russell Terriers isn’t just a hammock; it’s a hammock stretched from the owner’s clothing, meaning the dog can appreciate their smell while resting.

Friday Fetch: Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coats

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Ammo

November is officially here, and in Pennsylvania that means that I will be wearing my coats most of the time while outdoors now. I’m always on the lookout for stylish coats, so when I came across the Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coatery I knew I had found a winner.

Ammo the Dachshund // Friday Fetch // Billy Wolf K-9 Coatery

From Billy Wolf:

After several failed attempts to find her dog a tasteful coat, fashion designer Lyndsey Drago took to her sewing machine and tailor made her Chihuahua Cujo a tartan plaid coat from an old jacket that had grown too weary for wear. With Cujo sporting his new coat, Lyndsey was stopped block after block on their daily walks by strangers complimenting his coat and requesting one of their own for their pooches. Thus, Billy Wolf Fine K-9 Coatery was born.

Billy Wolf also makes pet bandanas and Leather Collars.
