Dehydrated Pet Food from The Honest Kitchen + A Giveaway

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by The Honest Kitchen. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!

As you may have read on my blog last week, I’ve recently taken the plunge into trying dehydrated pet food. Since I’ve been on a rotational diet since I was just a wee pup I’m always excited when mom finds a few food for me to try. This time around I got to try the Revel Chicken Recipe from my friends at The Honest Kitchen!

If you’re unfamiliar with de-hydrated dog food, it is essentially raw foods that have been dehydrated to lock in the nutrients. It’s less processed than dry food, and typically needs water to “plump up”.

The Honest Kitchen’s dehydrated pet food, treats and supplements are made from 100% human grade whole foods.

The Honest Kitchen makes several varieties of pet food including grain free, whole grain, and even limited ingredient foods for sensitive pets, or pets with allergies.

Revel is the food I started out with, and had been eating over the past few weeks. It’s a whole grain chicken food with Free-range chicken, organic barley, potatoes, organic flax, organic oats, green peas, carrots, bananas, parsley, organic kelp, celery, tricalcium phosphate, choline chloride, zinc amino acid chelate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, potassium iodide, potassium chloride, iron amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate, thiamine mononitrate.

A 2 lb. box of Revel costs $15.99, and if you consider that I eat 1/3 cup twice a day, a 2lb. box (which contains about 8 cups of food) would end up costing me $1.33 a day and would last me 12 days (and there is even bigger savings when you buy larger quantities).

Now let me just say, I’ve never been much of a morning dog, but ever since Revel showed up at my door I’ve been an early riser because I just cannot wait to get my breakfast! No joke, I’m the first one out of bed now ready and waiting to be served my Honest Kitchen meal.

I’ve been eating about 1/3 cup twice a day for the past several weeks – and loving every minute of it.

The hardest part about eating dehydrated is having to wait that agonizing 3 minutes while it “puffs up” after mom adds hot water. I have to say though, after about a month I’m starting to get a bit more patient for my meals now, and mom likes how it’s teaching me to have more self control (as if dachshunds have any of that!).

The aroma of chicken noodle soup (which is what mom says it smells like) fills my house at mealtime, and I scarf that puppy down! After a month of eating dehydrated food from The Honest Kitchen mom even noticed that my coat seemed shinier and softer too.

End of Summer Harvests + Limited Ingredient Diets for Dogs

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by the honest kitchen. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

While Trooper and I may look hot in this picture, the truth is the warm summer weather will be leaving us soon. With it we’ll have to say goodbye to our lush veggie gardens and the summertime harvests that have been so abundant this year.

Eating healthy, fresh ingredients isn’t just important for the humans, it’s important for us dogs too. While mom can’t grow everything Trooper and I need to maintain a healthy diet, I want to share with you the newest addition to my healthy diet that’s available all year round!

My friends at the Honest Kitchen are makers of all natural, human grade dehydrated dog and cat food. Their foods are produced in the USA from non-GMO produce and hormone-free meats.

One of the newest addition to their healthy food line is called BRAVE. This limited ingredient diet contains only six ingredients: MSC certified pollock, organic coconut, chickpea, celery, pumpkin, spinach, plus vitamins and minerals – which is perfect for dogs that may have allergies, or prefer a more simplified food.

Brave had a great fishy smell, which I picked up even before mom opened the shipping box it came in! And all you have to do is add water to this food to get it to puff up to a full (and filling) meal. I look forward to scarfing it down at mealtime.

While neither Trooper nor I have any food related allergies, we can certainly appreciate a simplified diet with only the healthiest of ingredients.

Just like all the yummy home grown veggies in mom’s garden!

There’s lots I want to share with you about how I’ve added dehydrated food from the Honest Kitchen into my rotational diet – so to find out even more you’ll just have to stop by my blog on Tuesday next week – as a bonus I’ve got some great products from the Honest Kitchen to giveaway too!

You can fetch BRAVE and other limited ingredient foods from the Honest Kitchen.

Wellness TruFood Review & Giveaway

Posted on August 4, 2015 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Wellness. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you will love!

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

As you may know I’ve been thinking a lot about what I eat lately. Ok, honestly, I think about what I’m going to be eating ALL THE TIME. Last week I wrote post about how my mom chooses pet food for me to eat in my rotational diet, and I’ve even discussed the portion size I’m eating each day to keep my figure trim. Well today I wanted to share the line of dog food I recently started eating from one of my favorite companies, Wellness.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

I’ve been eating dry dog food from Wellness since I was just a puppy (and ate their puppy formula), and so has my best friend Trooper. Recently they came out with a brand new line, Wellness TruFood. TruFood uses fresh whole foods from farm, land and sea in their new treats, wet and dry dog and cat food.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

The TruFood dry dog food is packed with real ingredients and free of grain, wheat, potatoes and artificial preservatives, colors and flavors. They also slow-bake raw, whole-prey meats with grain-free fiber like peas, chickpeas and lentils which gives TruFood up to 70% more protein than similar foods.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

You can actually see some of the added veggies in Trufood, and because it’s meats are slow-baked, they caramelize, which makes it oh-so-tasty for us pups. I can attest, because mom says I started eating my meals much much faster once we switched over to TruFood.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Before I dive into eating anything new, my mom and I always put on our analyzation glasses (we’re both farsighted) to make sure we’re choosing things that not only do I think taste good, but are healthy for me too!

Here’s what’s inside the TruFood Dry Small Breed Formula (click image to enlarge). For more details on what I look for on the labels of my pet food, be sure to check out my recent post on Choosing the Best Dog Food.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Trufood also comes in several baked treat formulas, like Protein Bites, and these CocoChia Bakes Cookies that I couldn’t wait to tear into.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Wellness TruFood CocoChia treats combine whole-prey protein with antioxidant-rich superfoods, probiotics, coconut oil and chia seeds to deliver a nutritious grain-free treat.

Wellness Trufood Review & Giveaway

Hey mom, since these are so healthy for me it’s fine if I eat the whole box in one sitting right?

Ammo on the Farm

Thanks to Wellness for keeping me healthy, fit, and happy for all these years. I very much look forward to adding TruFood to my diet!

You can fetch the Wellness Trufood brand for cats and dogs from Amazon* as well as your local pet food stores. *affiliate link

And now for the best part….

Glucosamine Joint Supplement for Dogs Review & Giveaway

Posted on June 9, 2015 by Ammo

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

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Have you met my best friend Trooper? If you haven’t, you’re really missing out! Trooper is the happiest and hardest working dog I know. While I spend a lot of my time on the family horse farm, my pal Trooper lives there, and his main goal in life is to help with the horses and ALL OF THE CHORES.

Product Review: Ruffwear Swamp Cooler // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper is 8 years old, and because of his breeding (he’s an australian shepherd/labrador mix) and his very hard working nature he sometimes has joint pain and arthritis that slows him down more than he would like.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Thanks to my new friends at TaylorHappy I was able to give him a little secret weapon against that pesky joint pain with the TaylorHappy Glucosamine supplement.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Supplements such as Glucosamine can help to decrease inflammation and improve the the dog’s ability to repair and strengthen tissues. No supplement will ever be able to reverse structural changes in a joint (like torn cartilage, calcium deposits, or advanced scar tissue), but it can help your pet lead a more comfortable life.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my buddy Trooper isn’t taking a Glucosamine supplement he has a noticeable limp, but when he is on a supplement such as the TaylorHappy Glucosamine his limp disappears and he appears more comfortable.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

TaylorHappy Glucosamine is shellfish free, so even dogs with allergies can benefit from taking this supplement. This formula also contains chrondroitin sulfate and MSM to help protect and strengthen the cartilage. Manganese and boron are also added to assist with the production of joint fluids and healthy bone tissue.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper has had a small amount of the liquid added to his daily meals (which he happily scarfs down) for the past month (since May 9th). And he’s pretty happy about it because it means his limp won’t keep him from joining in on all the chores around the farm.

TaylorHappy Glucosamine Supplement for Dogs // Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my best buddy is feeling good, I’m feeling good, because that means he’s never in too much pain for a wrestling match!

You can check out TaylorHappy Glucosamine on Amazon and see if it’s something that might benefit your dog. And as a bonus you can SAVE $5 OFF with coupon code TROOPER1 *valid until 08/31/2015 (one redemption per customer)

And now for the best part…

Methods to Keep your Dog’s Teeth Clean

Posted on February 11, 2015 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by Chewy.com and contains affiliate links.

As you may or may not know, this month is National Pet Dental Health Month. And if you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, then you might also know a few months ago I jumped back on the “teeth brushing” bandwagon and started trying to maintain my pearly whites a bit better.

Clean Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund

While I still continue to use the Tropiclean Gel on my teeth each night before bed, I’ve also added some new tools to my dental regime.

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

My friends over at Chewy.com sent me this Nylabone DuraChew Dental Dino Toy and my mom picked me up a Pet Dental Scraper (thanks to a recommendation from my Facebook friend, Alex).

Clean Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund

Now incase you may have forgotten, before I even started on my teeth cleaning regime, my teeth looked like this. And even after getting into the habit of brushing regularly I was still left with some plaque on my teeth.

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

So to aid in keeping my teeth clean I decided to break open my new Nylabone.

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

Now I’ve always been a lover of Nylabones, and this Dino chew is no different. The little bumps are super fun to chew on, and as a bonus mom says they help to clean my teeth and freshen my breath!

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

You can fetch your own Nylabone Dino Dental Chew from Chewy.com – and it’s on SALE now for just $3.99!

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

So on top of using my new Nylabone, I also started using this Pet Dental Scraper to scrape the plaque off my teeth. Now I must admit upon first inspection it looked pretty scary.

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

But my mom waited until I was extra sleepy on the couch one evening to test it out.

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

Each night my mom has been working on my teeth in little bits to scrape off the plaque while I’m tired, and you know what, it’s not so bad.

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

And while I still have a ways to go to remove all the plaque, even after just one time, my teeth look a whole lot better!

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

If you want to use a Pet Dental Scraper on your pet, here’s what I’d recommend:

Only try on dogs that are relatively calm and not fazed by being “examined”
Start with just playing around with your dog’s lips and teeth without the tool to get them used to having their mouth examined
Use the dental scraper when your dog is in a relaxed state
Use one hand to hold your dog’s mouth steady incase they pull away quickly
Apply the dental scraper in small doses to your dog’s teeth and don’t overdo it. Gradually increase the time you use it as your dog gets comfortable with it

What sort of things do you do to keep your pet’s teeth clean?

Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by Chewy.com, but all opinions are my own. Be advised that the best way to get a full dental cleaning for your pet is to contact a licensed veterinarian – and these are just my own personal experiences with pet dental cleaning, and I am in no way an expert. Use the pet dental scraper on your pet at your own risk.

A Visit from the Horse Dentist

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Ammo

A visit with the Horse Dentist // Ammo the Dachshund

This week on the farm the horses were due for their dental check-up. Trooper and I of course were on hand for moral support.

A visit with the Horse Dentist // Ammo the Dachshund

Because who in their right mind likes to go to the dentist? Especially when you have to wear this type of contraption on your face!

A visit with the Horse Dentist // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper always tries to be Mr. Helper, offering to hold supplies – mostly towels. That dog has an unhealthy obsession with towels if you ask me! I didn’t have the heart to tell him that they aren’t necessary tools for a dental exam.

A visit with the Horse Dentist // Ammo the Dachshund

I on the other hand just like to wait and see if there are any loose pony teeth, because I hear the tooth fairy will shell out double for horse teeth!

A visit with the Horse Dentist // Ammo the Dachshund

One thing can always be certain after a visit from the horse dentist though…..

A visit with the Horse Dentist // Ammo the Dachshund

….Trooper and I will be sure to brush our teeth extra well to avoid having to visit the dentist ourselves! Those tools look scary!

5 Tips for Keeping Your Pet Fit and Trim

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Ammo

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

After my vet gave me a thumbs up last week for keeping myself in tip top shape I thought it would be the perfect time to share some of my tips for keeping trim. And just in time for Thanksgiving too!

Ammo's Annual Vet Visit // Ammo the Dachshund

The ideal weight for a dog can be determined by being able to feel the ribs slightly, having an abdomen that is tucked when viewed from the side, and a visible waist behind the ribs when viewed from the top.

Tips for Keeping your Pet Trim // Ammo the Dachshund

My ideal weight for my size is around 18 pounds, and at my most recent check-up my vet could feel my ribs and I have a visible waist as seen from the photo above. It’s not easy keeping weight down (especially when you love to eat like I do), but hopefully with some of my tips you’ll be on your way to keeping your pet at a healthy weight for them!

Tip 1: Keep Active

Now I’m the first to admit that I don’t actually go on a daily walk everyday, but that doesn’t mean I’m not active!

Ammo on the Farm

I visit the family farm about 4 days a week – where I run my heart out! I enjoy running from groundhog hole to groundhog hole and I’m never in one place for very long. This sort of mental and physical stimulation help keeps me in shape.

Shop Dog // Work // Ammo the Dachshund

5 days a week I work at mom’s shop, and while it may not be an intense workout, just being active and greeting customers helps keep me on the move. I’m a strong believer that mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation to keep your pet fit.

ammo the dachshund at lowes

On the weekends I tend to go on one or two adventures, whether it’s a trip to lowes or a walk on the trail it’s a great way to keep me active.

Tip 2: Feed the Right Amount

Currently I eat two brands of food, Wellness Small Breed and Blue Buffalo Wilderness Small Breed, which I alternate with each bag. Both are grain free dry foods.

Tips for Keeping your Pet Trim // Ammo the Dachshund

Now you’ll notice that on the back of all dog food bags they list recommended feeding amounts:

Tips for Keeping your Pet Trim // Ammo the Dachshund

Based on my ideal weight of 18 lbs both bags recommend that I eat about 1 – 1 1/2 cups of food per day. But you will also notice that both bags note that dogs are individuals and these are just recommendations, and what you should feed your dog might vary from the chart.

In actuality I eat 1/3 a cup twice a day, which is much less than the recommended amount for my weight.

Tips for Keeping your Pet Trim // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom has chosen this amount for me over the years by monitoring my weight and cutting my food back slowly until she found an appropriate amount that was able to keep me at a healthy weight. She watches my waist line closely and always cuts my food back if it starts to look a little less trim.

Tips for Keeping your Pet Trim // Ammo the Dachshund

This amount of food might not look like enough to you, but you have to remember that us dogs keep food in our bellies for a long time. (Evident by the fact that hours upon hours after eating we can still throw up some pretty undigested food….yuck!)

When in doubt about how much you should feed your dog, you should always consult your veterinarian.

Tip 3: Take a Class

Ammo practices Dog Agility on his DIY Agility Jumps 2012

Typically once a week I take a dog agility class at my local training center. This helps keep me fit and keeps me thinking and learning too!

Taking any sort of class, even just a basic obedience class, is a great way to keep your dog active. Not just for puppies, any dog, any age, can benefit from training classes!

Tip 4: Use Treats Sparingly

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I review a lot of treats on the blog, but that doesn’t mean that I’m allowed to have them whenever I want. Mom keeps a tight watch on the cookie jar and I’m only allowed to have small treats when we are training.

I also try to keep most of the treats I eat on the healthy end of the scale, like eating sweet potato treats.

Tip 5: Limit Table Scraps

dachshund food

As a general rule I’m not allowed to have table scraps (although that doesn’t stop me from trying). The only exception to this rule is when mom will let me have bits of apple and carrots when she’s cutting them up. But for the most part it’s best for me just to eat the food that was designed for dogs.

So I hope you enjoyed my tips for keeping your pet fit and trim! Here’s to hoping we all live long and healthy lives!

Disclosure: This is supposed to be a general guide on how I keep myself fit, but you may need to consult your veterinarian as to what and how much to feed & exercise your own pet. Each pet is different!

Rejuv-a-Wafers Product Review & Giveaway

Posted on October 14, 2013 by Ammo

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)

Friday Fetch: Easter Dog Treats from Paw Street Barkery

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Ammo

With Easter just around the corner it has me dreaming about what delectable treats Mr. Bunny will be leaving in my Easter basket this year.

So when I stumbled across the Paw Street Barkery and all their organic dog treats I just knew I would be secretly hoping some of them end up in my Easter Basket this year.
