Earth Rated Poop Bags Review & Giveaway

Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags // Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Everyone poops. (including me) And thanks to my new friends over at Earth Rated my mom and dad now have an arsenal of poop bags to make clean-up a breeze.

Earth Rated bags are bigger, thicker, and totally leak-proof!

Earth Rated Scented Dog Poop Bags // Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Earth Rated’s green colored bags contain an EPI additive, which helps them break down better than traditional plastic bags and are rated Biodegradable in Canada. (fyi these bags are not considered biodegradable in the U.S. due to new labeling regulations, read more to find out why). And the extra cool part is that these particular ones are lavender scented too!

Earth Rated Scented Dog Poop Bags // Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The scent in the Earth Rated Bags is made from various types of plants, including spice plants, flowers and fruits and comply with standards set forth by the International Fragrance Association. Mom claims they smell much much better than the poo they will be holding, but being that I’m a dog, I may beg to differ on that one. Agree to disagree.

I also received a cute Earth Rated Dispenser, which has a handy loop for attaching to any type of leash, for on the go poop pickup!

There is a clip on the back that could be used to attach to a pocket in a pinch, but is actually designed to hold used bags.

Now before you read any further, if you might be eating breakfast, lunch or dinner (or any meal for that matter) then you may want to skip ahead to the end (where I have a fun giveaway), because how could I confidently recommend the Earth Rated Bags without testing them out myself….

Horse helps test Earth Rated Bags // Ammo the Dachshund

To help me with the testing I enlisted the help of my pony pals!

Earth Rated Poop Bags // Ammo the Dachshund

Because both Trooper and I agree, pony poop smells a whole lot better than dog poop! (Plus mom thought pony poop might be a little less cringe worthy in photographs….but I guess it depends on who you’re asking!).

Picking up Poop with Earth Rated // Ammo the Dachshund

Now Trooper and I would probably prefer to do pony poop pick-up on our own (if you catch my drift), but for the sake of this review we allowed mom to test out the Earth Rated Bags. She found the bags to be much easier to open than some of the more traditional black bags you see on the market and could tell they were much thicker than the bags we had been using.

Picking up Poop with Earth Rated // Ammo the Dachshund

While I think in the future mom and I will probably be using a wheelbarrow and pitchfork to do most of the pony poop pickup, it’s nice to know I now have some bags that are strong enough for even the biggest messes!

You can grab your own arsenal of doggie doo bags from Earth Rated by checking out which of your local stores they are stocked in and they’re also available on amazon!

And now for the best part….

Making dogs visible to cars on walks and making it easy to find your pet at night in their own backyard, I can’t say enough good things about these collars.

Glowdoggie Led Dog Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom always keeps one in our car for me, because you never know when you might need it! Another great thing about these collars is that there is no need for charging them, or plugging them in, or even flipping on a switch. You simply hang the collars upright (like on a doorknob) for them to turn off and they immediately light up when you put them on your dogs neck.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Rejuv-a-Wafers.

What is Chlorella? That’s exactly what I was wondering when the company Sun Chlorella offered me up the chance to test out their line of Pet Rejuv-a-Wafers (which are made from Chlorella). So I did a little research (ok ok, I just searched for it on webmd) and I found out that Chlorella is a type of algae that grows in fresh water and is used to make supplements and medicine.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

According to my friend (Mr. WebMd) Chlorella can be used to prevent cancer, reduce radiation treatment side effects, stimulate the immune system, increase white blood cells, prevent colds, improve digestion, heal ulcers, as well as various other benefits in humans.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It sounds great and all, but what can it do for a dog? Well according to Sun Chlorella the key benefits for dogs are:

  • Boosts your pet’s energy for more walks and playfulness
  • Gives your pet a beautiful glossy coat
  • Freshens breath
  • Detoxifies the body
  • Promotes good eye health

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So I decided to give it a whirl as I couldn’t find any serious side effects from taking it (other than your #2’s might turn green – don’t be alarmed if they do). These little green pills don’t really smell like anything but be aware they aren’t your average “dog cookie” as in they don’t taste like bacon, sausage, hot dogs, or any other thing that I’d typically want to be eating. So for the picky eaters you might have to hide them in SAID hot dog, I’m sure the non-picky eaters wouldn’t complain if it was in a hot dog either.

I’m not a picky eater, so I’ve been happily gobbling up my Rejuv-a-wafers each morning with my breakfast for the past week.

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom said she noticed that I’ve been a bit more rambunctious at work lately, although I’m not sure she totally appreciated my cardboard shredding antics. At 5 years old I may not need the added energy boost, but I think the older dogs out there would greatly benefit from the little pep in their step from the rejuv-a-wafers. I’m going to continue taking them (the box comes with 60 wafers) and I’ll be sure to report back on how it’s benefited me. Mom has her fingers crossed it really does wipe out doggie breath!

A portion of the proceeds from REJUV-A-WAFERS sales goes to support The Gentle Barn animal rescue organization! Yay for helping pets in need!

And now for the best part…

TWO Lucky WINNERS will WIN 2 Sun Chlorella Products!
(winners can choose between Rejuv-a-Wafers for dogs, or A Tablets, Granules, Sun Eleuthero or Skin Cream for humans)
