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.

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.

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

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.

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)

Birthday Cookies

Birthday Presents and Homemade Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

My 5th Birthday landed on Saturday this year, and while you probably already saw what I had fun unwrapping, there was one other special gift from my best friend Trooper that I wanted to share with you!

Birthday Presents and Homemade Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

Thoughtful Trooper gifted me a box of bake at home dog cookies from Dog Joy. I was just dying to bake these all natural oatmeal and peanut butter cookies, so on Saturday night mom helped me pop them into the oven.

After putting them on a baking sheet and popping them in the oven I had to wait an unbearably long ten minutes for them to cook. It was torture I tell you.

But when they popped out of the oven smelling of peanut butter goodness it was totally worth the wait! Thanks to my pal Trooper for making sure my tummy never goes hungry! Ammo the Dachshund

Instinct Rawboost Treats Product Review and Giveaway from Chewy.com

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Chewy.

My pals over at Chewy.com recently offered me the chance to test out some of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rawboost Minis Treats in the chicken flavor. I’ve secretly always wondered what eating raw was like – as it seems to have become a trend within the dog community – and trying out these raw treats seemed like a great way to jump into it.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom’s a bit too “chicken” to let me eat all my meals raw, but with these Rawboost treats I can have a taste of raw meat without needing to eat my main meals raw. These Rawboost treats offer up real, all natural chicken and pure raw ingredients – in a freeze dried treat form.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These tiny treats boast only 2 calories per treat, perfect for us dogs that like to watch our figure, and they are a great size to use as training treats too.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course when I smelled that burst of raw chicken flavor I dropped everything and came sprinting over. Cricket better watch out, because when I smell chicken nothing is going to get in my way!

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Nothing is ever truly free at my house, so mom made me work for my treats, but as you can see from the video below – I’d pretty much to anything for a taste of these scrumptious chicken bites!

Product Review: Fromm Treats from Chewy.com

Lately I’ve been reviewing my fair share of pet treats, and I started to wonder if the Universe was trying to tell me something like, “Eat your heart out Ammo!”. But then I received this package of Low Fat dog treats made by Fromm from my pals at Chewy.com, and I realized the Universe was instead saying “Eat your heart out Ammo, but make sure it’s low fat so you don’t get fat!” Good idea Universe.

Product Review: Fromm Treats from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

These Fromm Cranberry Liver Treats are made from Fresh Wisconsin cranberries and liver with a touch of garlic.

Friday Fetch: The Bear & The Rat Frozen Treats for Dogs

With my summer officially in full swing (never mind that the official start of summer isn’t until June 21), I know that with the hot days ahead I’ll be itching for some cool treats.

I came across these all natural frozen dog treats from The Bear & The Rat that are made with real yogurt and packed full of probiotics to help aid in your dog’s digestion. With flavors like Banana Peanut Barker and Bacon Peanut Barker they totally have me drooling. (Sadly I’ll never get to taste test these myself though, because my tummy is sensitive to yogurt – but I can live vicariously through you!).

These new treats from Orijen were light and fluffy and smelled delicious! They were small enough that mom said they would great to use as training treats – and can be easily broken into even smaller bites.

Product Review: Orijen Freeze-Dried Pet Treats from Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m not sure I’m thrilled about the “smaller bites” idea, but I was certainly thrilled to take these Orijen treats for a test run!

Friday Fetch: Popcorn for Dogs & Other Tasty Treats

If you’re anything like me then you can smell popcorn from a mile away! As much as I love to beg for that delectable popcorn, mom says all that butter and salt really isn’t that good for me. So I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Billy & Margot, makers of fine popcorn for dogs!

Friday Fetch - Popcorn for Dogs & Other Tasty Treats // Billy + Margot // Ammo the Dachshund

Their Popcorn is air popped making it a healthier alternative which is lower in fat and in calories. Popcorn contains fiber and is 100% whole grain and also gluten free. Plain popped corn makes a healthy treat and Billy & Margot’s even adds a special seaweed seasoning which is rich in a variety of minerals, vitamins and trace nutrients.

Friday Fetch: Pet Naturals of Vermont

Keeping an active and healthy lifestyle is something that is very important to me. I like to keep my sleek looking hot dog shape trim and fit, and I like to make sure that the things I am ingesting (aside from the occasional pony poop on the farm) are not only great tasting, but good for me too.

Friday Fetch: Pet Naturals of Vermont via Ammo the Dachshund When I came across the Pet Naturals of Vermont healthy product line I knew it was something I might have to take for a whirl.
