Peacebone Review & Giveaway

This is my new life. It’s chaotic and messy, sometimes there is crying – sometimes laughter, and there are a whole lot of things I’m not supposed to chew. But, that’s ok, because my new friends at Peacebone have something that I’m most definitely allowed to chew!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

Peacebone provides healthy pet treats that are made of hand picked, USA farm raised, USDA inspected beef from local farms. All their bones are also antibiotic free, non-GMO and preservative free.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

In other words, mom doesn’t have to think twice about offering me Peacebone products because she knows they are super safe for me to eat. Which is good news, because these days there isn’t a lot of time left to do anything except change stinky diapers. (you get the picture)

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

One of my favorites of the bunch was Peacebone’s Jumbo 6-Inch Bully Sticks. They’re made from 100% natural grass fed buffalo and are low in fat and high in protein. Mom loves that they are much safer than rawhide and are great for helping to clean my teeth.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

But my top pick had to be this beauty, The Pacifier.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

I had heard rave things about “The Pacifier” from my little sister, so I was super excited to try one. It’s a slow roasted and hand-trimmed all beef Kneecap. Sourced in the USA strictly from farms that meet Peacebone’s specific standards.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

It did not disappoint!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

When life around me gets extra messy (no toy is safe from my little sister’s wrath), I just grab my Pacifier from Peacebone and find my happy place, and all is right with the world again.

You can snag your pup some of this yummy goodness from my pals at Peacebone, and save 20% OFF your order with code AMMO20

And now for the best part….

Dog Food on the Go with The Honest Kitchen

Posted on May 22, 2017 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by The Honest Kitchen. I received product in exchange for a review. But don’t worry, I only share products I think you and your pets will love, not to mention it’s a healthy food I eat myself on a daily basis.

Honest Kitchen Cups

If you’ve been following my adventures for a while now, then you probably know that I’m a big fan of the dehydrated raw pet food company, The Honest Kitchen. I’ve been eating their recipes for years now, and it still totally gets my tail wagging.

Honest Kitchen Cups

So when they came out with a new product I couldn’t wait to test it out! Their new single serve cups are exactly what I needed for my busy lifestyle.

Honest Kitchen Cups

These cups come in several bestselling recipes Force, Love and Embark and make 12oz of food, the same as a can of dog food would!

Honest Kitchen Cups

All you have to do is add water to the cup and then serve to your dog. One cup can be served per 20lbs of body weight.

Honest Kitchen Cups

Mom loves these to-go cups because she no longer has to measure out my food in the morning into a tavel bag in the event we won’t be home for dinner (which happens a lot). Instead she just grabs one of The Honest Kitchen’s cups and we’re out the door.

Honest Kitchen Cups

So when I find myself on the farm for a late night dinner – mom’s always prepared with my favorite foods. Since I tend to not need as much food as most companies recommend for a dog my size – I only eat 1/2 a cup at each meal.

Honest Kitchen Cups

And even when mom inevitably forgets my dog bowl too, the cup doubles as one as well!

Honest Kitchen Cups

These cups are sold in select stores only, find out if your local store carries them.

And if you’d like to give The Honest Kitchen Food a try for your dog, you can snag a FREE SAMPLE BUNDLE (discount applied at checkout)

And holy moly, if I had know a business built in a little red barn could make all these yummy goodies (and more) I would of had mom pulling over the car at every red barn I saw!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

While RedBarn totally had me at first sniff, mom always takes a little convincing before she’ll let me sink my teeth into just any treat or bone.

She needn’t worry though, because RedBarn has strict quality assurance specifications in their factories to ensure the freshest product goes out their doors.

Looks like I’ve got the ok to dig right in from mom!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

These Bully Nuggets are made from natural beef lung nuggets coated in yummy bully gravy. Sorry, I’m probably making you drool!

That tasty gravy also contains some special ingredients like Salmon Oil and Vitamin E to help support your dog’s joints.

All I know is it was enough to make me roll over 10 times in a row just for a taste!

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with the GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Posted on March 20, 2017 by Ammo

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

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Water – it’s absolutely necessary for all of us to survive, but have you thought about how safe and clean your own pet’s water is?

My mom has always provided me with fresh water, and even when the public water at work seemed a little cloudy my mom didn’t hesitate to lug in a jug of clean water from home just so I could have the best!

But lugging in a jug of water weekly is a hassle, so I was so excited to tell my mom about a new way to keep my water purified so we could ditch the jug!

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Meet the GoPure Water Purifier for pets!

GoPure Pod keeps your dog or cat healthy by providing them plenty of fresh, clean water. Your tap water may contain lead, fluoride or other chemicals proven to be dangerous for pets. GoPure Pet will remove these impurities and other contaminants.

And the truth is, most pet’s water bowls aren’t cleaned often enough, creating the perfect environment for bacteria growth. But now there is a simple way to ensure your pet’s drinking water is safe.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

The GoPure Pod couldn’t be simpler to use (I mean I could totally do it if I had opposable thumbs!), and it can be used with any water bowl for up to 6 months with no need to change a filter.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

With high-strength suction cups it attaches to the bottom of your pet’s bowl (and trust me, your dog or cat definitely won’t be able to get this thing off themselves).

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Then simply fill with water and the pod begins it’s work.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Water continuously flows through openings in the exterior shell (the blue part) and is then purified through the GoPure Pod that is safely attached to the base of your dog’s bowl.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

For the past few weeks now I’ve been drinking the tap water at work with the GoPure Pod. Mom has noticed that water looks much clearer than it ever has, and I’m relieved to know that the water I’m consuming is safe.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Did you know pet dishes are one of the main spots for germs to grow in the home? Pets have bacterial microbes in their mouths that be can be transferred to their water bowls, which in turn provides an environment for bacteria to grow.

Um yea, that’s pretty gross. Well now I can happily say….not in my water bowl…thanks to GoPure Pod!

You can help ensure your pet’s water is safe and clean by visiting GoPure Pod.

And now for the best part….

TWO WINNERS WILL WIN A GOPURE POD FOR PETS!

From Couch to Couch – Is Your Dog Getting Enough Exercise?

Posted on February 6, 2017 by Ammo

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by Pod Trackers. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog(s) will love.

So I’m the first to admit that I’m no stranger to couch snoozing. I know where to find the perfect spot at anytime, and I have no problems sinking myself into one whenever I feel like it.

As cute and cuddly as I look (I know, I’m just so stinkin’ adorable), it got me thinking….when is too much napping too much? (as if that’s a thing!)

Well my friends, after a little googling (on the couch no less), I discovered that according to an article I found on PetMD the average dog should be getting about 30 minutes of rigorous exercise (or play) along with 1-2 hours of daily activity.

So how am I supposed to tell if my romps on the farm are enough?

Well, as luck would have it, my friends at Pod Tracker have a kickstarter going for their Pod 3 – the customizable GPS tracker for everything in your life, including your dog!

Now I know what you’re thinking, how is a GPS tracker going to tell me how much exercise I’m getting? Well, one of the super cool features of the Pod is that it also has an Activity Monitor. That’s right, you can monitor your dogs activity or set up sensor alerts and even detect unusual activity right from your smart phone.

So not only is your pet’s activity being monitored, but you can also set up geofences to be notified if your pet leaves a specific area, and you can even record and share your pets adventures.

Their Kickstarter campaign for the new Pod 3 is already fully funded, but there are still a few days left for you to jump on board and get your pet one of the newest models at an introductory price. The cool thing about the new Pod 3 is it now has various add-ons such as sound, light, ultrasonic speaker (hello bark control), XL battery and permanent power dock. You can head on over to their campaign to find out more details on their new upgrades!

So just how did I do with my activity levels for my first day of tracking it? Well as you can see by bedtime I had exceeded my walking goal (what can I say, I’m an active guy), and I was pretty close to my rest goal (we all need naps). But 9 minutes of play? That’s sad. Really sad.

Well, there’s really only one thing to do about that.

Tug-of-war ALL DAY LONG tomorrow!

So do you think your dog gets enough exercise? If you’re curious to find out for sure, be sure to check out the Pod 3 Kickstarter campaign!

Party for a Horse

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Ammo

Throwing a party for a horse

What’s better than watermelon on a hot summer day? I’ll tell you what….

Throwing a party for a horse

…a party for a horse! Not just any horse, but my pal Willis! See way back last year he got a pretty bad leg injury in the pasture (here we are watching a time-lapse video of his serious wound, and don’t worry, I spared you the close-up details). Since he’s about to turn 30 years old this year….and finally over his injury, we decided to throw a party to celebrate!

Throwing a party for a horse

Everyone on the farm pitched in to help Willis heal, myself included. I was entertainment for him when he was stuck inside for months, and I helped keep him company on his daily walks.

Throwing a party for a horse

After some food and reminiscing about how far Willis has come, we all headed out to the barn to see the big guy himself.

Throwing a party for a horse

Willis’ owner, and even the vet who helped save him along with everyone else at the farm came out to celebrate.

Throwing a party for a horse

Willis got a big “carrot cake” and lots of love since we’re all so happy to see him recovered.

Throwing a party for a horse

Even Minnow was excited for the party, although he may have been a bit jealous he didn’t get a carrot cake too.

Throwing a party for a horse

Finally time to relax, since Mr. Willis is going to be just fine now. You hear that Willis? No more injuries, because this dog can’t take another one!

Do you throw your animals parties to celebrate anything?

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Ammo

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

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Recently my new friends over at Bully Bundles sent me a package of their 6″ Bully Sticks to try. Now if you’ve never heard of Bully Sticks, then you are missing out my friend!

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Now I admit, when I was a young pup I used to snack on rawhides (before my mom knew any better), but Bully Sticks are a type of chew that are MUCH better than rawhides. Not only are they safer because they are 100% digestible (much lower risk of choking compared rawhides), but they are also healthier because they are made of 100% beef. Rawhides typically contain harmful chemicals and are treated with a long list of ingredients.

So I can attest, when you’re looking for a chew for your dog, Bully Sticks are definitely the way to go. Not only will your dog love them, but your humans will feel good knowing they are safe and healthy.

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

Now the cool thing about Bully Bundles is that you can sign up to have your dog’s Bully Sticks delivered monthly. When you’re a busy shop dog it’s nice to know there will always be a snack around for your work breaks (even if your mom forgets to pick some up at the store!).

In fact, I have a fun little game I like to play to earn my bully sticks while at work…

I’ve gotten so good at finding those hidden Bully Sticks that mom has had to get pretty creative in hiding them now!

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

The Bully Bundles come in 6″ or 12″ sticks that are between 5/8″ – 7/8″ thick (which are thicker than most I’ve seen on the market).

They’re also made with no preservatives or chemicals and are produced in a USDA approved facility. Hailing from free-range, grass-fed Brazilian cattle, and No growth hormones or antibiotics are used on the cattle.

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

So if you’re ready to set your dog up with a monthly subscription of bully sticks from Bully Bundles, you can choose between 6, 10, 15, 30, or 60 6″ sticks a month or 5, 10, 15, or 30 12″ sticks a month.

And don’t worry, you can even skip a month or cancel at anytime! The best part is you can save 10% OFF your Bully Bundles order with code AMMO.

As a bonus…

A Monthly Delivery of Bully Bundles + A Giveaway

FOUR WINNERS WILL WIN A 4-PACK OF BULLY STICKS FROM BULLY BUNDLES!

As dogs, we’re designed to be meat eaters, but did you know that adding vegetables to your dog’s diet can help them in many ways?
