Blanket ID Lounge Collar & Pods Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer : This is a sponsored post and giveaway brought to you by Blanket ID.

Blanketid Lounge Collar & Podz Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My daily “wardrobe” has consisted of one very important accessory for a very long time now, and that is my Blanket ID tag, which helps to keep me safe should I ever go missing. Each Blanket ID tag comes with a unique number on the back which when inputted into the Blanket ID website helps lost doggies to find their owners once again!

Blanketid Lounge Collar & Podz Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

While I keep my tag attached to my collar during the day, I must admit that the 1″ wide collars I prefer to wear are a little less than comfortable when I’m trying to get all snuggly in my bed at night. And as much as I know it’s sort of a no-no, up until now mom and dad let me sleep in the nude every night so that I could get more cozy.

Blanketid Lounge Collar & Podz Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But all of that has changed since my pals at Blanket ID sent me one of their Lounge Collars and new Pods ID tags!

Blanketid Lounge Collar & Podz Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These soft leather lounge collars are handmade in a whole variety of colors and styles – and you can even have one made with colors of your choosing, which is what I did with this fun gray and teal wrap collar.

Blanketid Lounge Collar & Pods Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The lounge collars are thin and slip right over your dog’s neck, and now I don’t have to worry about being id-less at night since I have something comfortable to wear to bed.

Blanketid Lounge Collar & Podz Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With the lounge collar you can attach your dog’s existing tags to it, or pick up one of these fun Pods from Blanket ID!

Blanketid Lounge Collar & Podz Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The pods unscrew at the top so you can insert some information about your dog on their included weather-resistant paper.

The Pods come in 4 fun colors (orange, purple, silver, and dark gray), and are waterproof, lightweight, and easily updated should you ever move. They are even great for using when you are on vacation as you can update it quickly to have your vacation address on it.

Blanket ID Adopt a Tag Collection – Helping Rescue Groups

Posted on by

Blanket ID Significant Others Collection // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember that a few months ago, thanks to all of your wonderful votes, my phrase “My Hero” was selected to be turned into a tag in the Blanket Id Adopt a Tag Collection.

This new collection has been especially designed with breed rescues in mind and is available in the blanket id store! Each tag will directly benefit a Rescue – either each winner’s chosen charity (I chose to support the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue) or you can select your own. You’ll find information about all the chosen winners here.

Blanket ID Significant Others Collection // Ammo the Dachshund

I was so excited when my new Blanket Id tag arrived in the mail!

Blanket ID Significant Others Collection // Ammo the Dachshund

Since the idea behind this tag collection is showing you care, I decided that I would gift my new Blanket Id tag to my best friend Trooper – so that he can be protected by the Blanket Id services too!

If you can’t tell, Trooper is very excited to be “My Hero” and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be helping one of our favorite rescues, The Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

Rescue Animals and Blanket ID

Posted on by

Last week I wrote about my saying (“My Hero”) that I had submitted to the Blanket ID “Significant Others” Tag Contest, and I asked you (my fans) to help my tag win by voting so that I could choose a lucky animal rescue to donate money from the sale of my tags to.

Well thanks to all of you I placed second! Which means in a few short weeks my tag will be available for purchase from Blanket ID!

Blanket ID Winners // Ammo the Dachshund

As exciting as this is, I’m even more excited to announce that the rescue I have chosen to receive $3 from every sale of my tag is the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue!

Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) is a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast.

Just look at some of these cuties they have available for adoption:

To see all of their available dogs visit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

So if you’d like to be a hero just like me, then you might consider making a purchase of my Blanket ID tag once it is available (I’ll be sure to let you know). And you can also come visit me on April 21st at the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. More details HERE.

Slap on your cape, and grab a helmet, because there are always heroes welcome in my club! Ammo the Dachshund

 

Giving Back and Blanket ID Tags

Posted on by

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

Super Heroes do more than just look great in capes, they also help their community! I am proud to be a supporter of animal rescues and helping shelter animals in need.

A few months ago I created a new page on my blog all about giving back. You can check it out HERE.

Giving Back // Lending a Helping Paw // Ammo the Dachshund

I love to do everything I can to help animals in need, so when an opportunity popped up to help a rescue of my choice, I jumped at the chance.

Blanket ID (makers of those fun id tags that keep your pets safe) recently launched a contest looking for cute sayings for their new id tags in their “Significant Others” collection. The winning saying will make it onto a Blanket ID tag in which $3 from every sale will go to the winner’s favorite animal rescue.

Giving Back // Lending a Helping Paw - Blanket ID // Ammo the Dachshund

My tag submission, “My Hero”, recently made it to the top 10 finalists and is now in the running to be chosen!

Now I need your help to get my tag to the top!

You can vote for my tag (#4, My Hero) by just leaving a comment with the number 4 on the Blanket ID blog, on their Facebook page or emailing it to cate@blanketID.com, share it if you like as much as you can and help me and my chosen rescue. Voting ends Today, Monday 4th March at midnight. Click HERE to VOTE.

Regardless of whether or not my design wins (although it would be fun to win), animals in need will get a helping paw! And that’s the most important part! Ammo the Dachshund

The Hunt for My Missing Collar

Posted on by

It’s true, on Monday night I lost my collar somewhere on the farm. My pretty one from the Polka Dog Line at Target, complete with my new Blanket ID tag, and my new Cropscotch tag, and even my two new Rubit Clips. Sigh, I was sort of in the dog house when I told mom I had lost all of those things at once. And the worst part was, I couldn’t even remember where I lost it.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Hunt for His Missing Collar

So the next day mom and I set out to search the farm for my collar. WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE! Needless to say with 20 acres to search it didn’t turn up.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Hunt for His Missing Collar

Then, in a sudden turn of events that day, I accidentally lost my back-up collar! I must have been so engrossed in digging out some local groundhogs that it slipped off my neck. This time we were able to find my collar nearby one of the holes, which made us come to the conclusion that my other collar must be down one of the holes too!

Ammo the Dachshund // Hunting for his missing Collar

So the very next day we set out on a digging mission (oh happy day) to find my collar.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Hunt for the Missing Collar

Armed with shovels and the super strength of my digging paws the mission was simple – dig up groundhog holes!

Ammo the Dachshund // The Hunt for the Missing Collar

The whole time I just kept thinking those pesky groundhogs were parading around down there with my prized collar (I am sort of a fashion icon).

Ammo the Dachshund // The Hunt for the Missing Collar

I worked myself up into a frenzy over them wearing my collar and ended up doing most of the digging, surprise surprise.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Hunt for the Missing Collar

But despite my best digging efforts I was unable to locate my lost collar. Tear. I can’t bear the thought of those groundhogs with something of mine!

Ammo the Dachshund // The Hunt for the Missing Collar

But the very worst part was, when we were all done, mom filled in all of my holes!!!! This is just horrible, I’m going to have to pull double digging duty tomorrow to un-dig them all. Sigh. Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: Wooden Pet ID Tags

Crafted out of the highest grade woods and hardwoods on the market, our custom Pet ID tags and necklaces are laser cut, hand sanded, engraved and finished with a clear, non-toxic matte coat to ensure maximum strength, protection and weather resistance.
