Finally! Yesterday I got to have a true Snow Day! Which means I didn’t have to go to work, and I got to spend the day playing with my family in the snow.
This was Baby P’s first big snow, and I was so excited to show her exactly what to do on a snow day.
We make snow angels on Snow Days.
And we go sledding on Snow Days.
And we curl up on the couch and wait for mom to make us a warm beverage on snow days!
What do you do on snow days?

Being a dog with an odd shaped body (hello short legs and long body) I know how hard it can be to find pet clothing that fits. And lets be honest, looks cool too!
Thanks to my friends at Pepper Petwear I’ve found a new company that can accommodate any dog shaped body you can imagine!
Their handmade in Hungary dog coats, jackets, dog raincoats, dog sweaters, and dog collars can be made to fit any breed! You can even choose custom colors in several different styles. I decided to test out the Extra Warm Winter Coat (for those cold Pennsylvania winters) in the turquoise with grey fleece.
After sending off my measurements it arrived in the mail not long after. One of my favorite features it that it’s got lots of velcro straps for plenty of adjustments (should your dog’s weight ever change, or perhaps you want to add an extra layer for warmth underneath).
My new jacket even has these great reflective strips on the sides for added visibility.
I also requested the addition of a harness hole, which makes it easier for me to put my seatbelt on in the car or go for a walk when I’m wearing my harness underneath.
When I’m asked to review pet products I take the job pretty seriously, and no dog coat gets my stamp of approval without testing on the farm. Because lets face it, farm life is not exactly gentle on pet wear and I had to make sure it would stand up the rigors of all my outdoor adventures.
My new Pepper Petwear coat held up for (repeated) trips under the farm fencing.
It survived excursions in the manure pile (and didn’t stink too terribly bad afterwards).
It didn’t rip when I climbed through brush and sticks.
It still gave me plenty of freedom to dig (and didn’t hold onto the dirt).
And most importantly I could still run just as fast while wearing it! I’d say it’s definitely Ammo the Farm Dog APPROVED!
If you’d like to snag your pet one of these great coats be sure to visit Pepper Petwear! You can even use code pepperpetwear10 for 10% off your order!
And don’t forget, they can make coats for big dogs too, and with Spring just about here it’s the perfect time to grab your dog a new raincoat!
Now for the best part…

I hear that this weekend a big snowstorm is headed my way. So far they are predicting 12 – 18 inches of the fluffy white stuff.
Don’t worry though, I’m totally prepared and have already readied my snow day outfit! Bring on Blizzard Jonas! After all, I’ve weathered my fair share of snow storms over the years….
…and so many more it’s hard to count!
So which dogs out there are excited to get some snow tomorrow?
Since I spend a lot of my time on the family horse farm I couldn’t help but fall in love with these horse blanket style dog coats from Off The Wall Designs on Etsy. If you’re an equestrian lover at heart you’re going to love these…
You can fetch these designs and more from Off The Wall Designs on Etsy.

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by the Savvy Dachshunds Boutique. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think my readers will love.
Recently I was introduced to the Savvy Dachshund Boutique and their fun line of custom made clothing to fit the unique shapes of the hard-to-fit Dachshund shape. Now if you are owned by a Dachshund, then you probably know it can be such a pain to find outfits to fit our long bodies and big chests.
Well at the Savvy Dachshund Boutique you can order custom handmade clothing in your own dog’s size and a variety of fun styles.
This cute little wool tweed jacket I received was super stylish, and even though it’s probably not the ideal jacket for on the farm (since the hay and horse hair would stick to this in seconds), I couldn’t help but take it for a spin in the snow. Mostly because I look darn good in the snow with a tweed jacket on!
This coat would be fantastic to strut your stuff on your evening walk (and would be sure to make all the other pup’s jealous!).
And really, fireside lounging never looked so good when you’ve got on a tweed jacket!
The prices for jackets at the Savvy Dachshund Boutique range from $20 – $38, so you can be sure to get something special for your dog at a great price. They also come with a handy hole in the back to snap onto a harness or collar to make walking extra easy!
I also took this Navy Plaid Jacket for a spin. The inside is lined with soft fleece with velcro closures on the chest and belly and it even had functional pockets on both sides! I can’t decide if I want to stuff them with cookies or bully sticks – it’s a tough call.
This jacket even has a cute little matching snood. For $12 these fleece Snoods can be made to match any jacket you order and is a great addition to keep your little pup’s neck warm.
So if you’re looking for some custom clothing to fit your Dachshund be sure to check out the Savvy Dachshund Boutique and as a bonus you can use code 87879 for FREE SHIPPING on your order!

A few months ago I shared a collection of fall sweaters that were designed to fit my fellow dachshund friends. Well now that the colder weather has set in I thought it would be fun to share my recommendations for winter coats too!
So here is my collection of 10 Winter Coats that Fit Dachshunds – some of which I’ve tried and tested, and a few that seem to fit the bill for all those short legged/long backed doxies out there!
1. Voyagers K9 Apparel Winter Dog Coat
One of my go-to coats every winter is my Voyagers K9 Winter Coat. I’ve owned this coat since 2011 – and it’s held up fabulously over the years. It’s great on the farm, and the added hood is fabulous at keeping my ears warm. Not to mention I look oh-so-stylish when wearing it! You can fetch your own from Voyagers K9.
Over the years I’ve owned many Noodle and Friends Coats. Designed with the long bodied dogs in mind they also feature extra chest protection (great for when you’re low to the ground) and one of my favorite features – a built in d-ring so you don’t have to wear a harness too! Check out the entire line of dog coats from Noodle and Friends.
3. Teckelklub
While I’ve never had the chance to try one of these TeckelKlub Coats, they do look exceptionally warm! These coats come in a variety of sizes to fit many dogs, and have a variety of lengths to accommodate the dachshund’s long bodies! You can even get them embroidered with your dog’s name! I’ve heard from several of my fans that this company makes some great coats. You can fetch one of these coats from TeckelKlub.
4. Hurtta
After winning a photo contest I got the chance to test out one of these Hurtta Summit Parka’s, and it’s an awesome winter coat that’s exceptionally warm. I love that they have openings for harnesses, and the added draw strings on the back makes it so you can adjust them to fit any length dog, even dachshunds! Fetch your own from Hurtta.
5. Ruffwear
I’ve owned the Ruffwear Climate Changer for quite some time now. And I have to say it is one of the warmest coats I’ve ever owned. Now while it’s not specifically designed for dachshunds, these coats are actually very long in the body and seem to fit my unique build like a glove. The only issue I had with the Climate Changer is that sometimes my legs got caught inside the sleeves (since they are a little extra long) – but mom fixed this issue for me by hemming them up some. But Ruffwear does make several winter coat designs that don’t have sleeves, which would likely be a little more conducive to short legged dachshunds without the need to do some hemming. You can fetch this coat and more from Ruffwear (*contains affiliate links)
These horse blanket style dachshund coats are designed to fit the shorter leg breeds. While I haven’t tried this brand personally, I did used to own a blanket style coat when I was a puppy that fit me very well. You can fetch the Foggy Mountain Dachshund Coat from True Fit Dog Coats.
These handmade fleece coats from Lupo & Olimp are exceptionally soft and warm. They are by far the thickest and warmest fleece jackets I have ever warm, and are great for layering on really cold days on the farm. The best part is they are handmade to fit your own dog! You can fetch them in a variety of colors from Lupo & Olimp Co. on Etsy.
The folks at Pepper Pet Wear make a variety of winter coats – all of which can be custom made to fit your dog – dachshunds included! I’m always a big fan of coats that have added protection under the belly, and these definitely do that! Read my full review on the Pepper Pet Wear Coats. You can check out these custom pet coats from Pepper Pet Wear on Etsy.
While I’ve never warm one, Dachshund Delights makes a whole line of custom coats for Dachshunds. From fleece, to hardier winter wear they have it all, including coats with built in harnesses. You can fetch one of these winter coats from Dachshund Delights.
10. DJANGO Reversible Puffer Vest*
(*Ammo received compensation from DJANGO in exchange for an honest review of their Puffer Reversible Dog Coat)
Ok seriously, every dog needs a puffer vest – it’s just so stylish! My friends at DJANGO sent me this one in sage green, and I totally love that it’s reversible to a fun red plaid color. They come in a variety of sizes and I love that they fit us deep chested dogs perfectly. They also have the much coveted (in my opinion) hole in the back for a leash attachment. You can fetch one from DJANGO.* Use Discount code AMMO15 for 15% off DJANGO’s Puffer Reversible Dog Coat (1 use per customer)

So there you have it, my fun collection of winter coats designed to keep your Dachshund warm! Have any to add? Post your suggestions in the comments below!
Likely it’s because these jackets are reminiscent of vintage style horse blankets, but I’m totally digging the collection of cold weather gear over at Houndworthy!

It’s that time of year when the sun sets earlier, the leaves change a pretty color, and you have to bundle up a little more on the farm! Here’s a fun little collection of photos from my recent fall fun around the farm.
Don’t you just want to jump in a great big pile of leaves and sip hot chocolate now? (well in my case just burrow under my favorite warm blanket!)
You guys, it’s officially SWEATER WEATHER! Which means I couldn’t help but ooooh and aaaaah over the handmade dog sweaters from My Fabulous Puppy on Etsy.
You can fetch these handmade sweaters and more from My Fabulous Puppy starting at $20.

I’m always super excited when I get to test out clothing, since being a dachshund means that your body type is not the norm – and it can be quite difficult to find harnesses, jackets, sweaters and coats that accommodate my long body but short legs. Needless to say, I’m quite excited to share with you the Precision Fit Harness and a Precision Fit Sport Fleece from my pals at My Canine Kids.
Since summer has officially decided to head on out of Eastern Pennsylvania, I have found myself in need of a jacket on the farm for my early morning farm chores.
The Precision Fit Line from My Canine Kids is quite unique in that it is designed to be fully adjustable. As in your clothes and harnesses can grow with you should you perhaps pack on a few extra pounds (not that I condone that) or are a puppy going through a growth spurt, or perhaps you just have an odd dachshund shaped body that can be hard to fit.
The front of the Fleece velcros in two points so that you can easily make it snugger or looser.
And the belly strap has an extra long piece of velcro to fit lots of different sized bellies. And the My Canine Kids line isn’t just for small dogs, they make their products in a variety of sizes to fit big and small dogs and every body type in between.
The Precision Fit Sport Fleece even comes with an handy hole to attach a leash through, although I do wish it was a bit further back so it could reach my harness.
I also got to test out the Precision Fit Step in Harness in blue.
Mom says it totally makes me look like a body builder! Hey, I’ll take that!
Some key features about the Precision Fit Harness:
And because the top and sides are fully adjustable, it can make fitting your growing puppy or hard to fit dog a snap! I typically prefer harnesses that don’t go between my front legs, but I did notice that My Canine Kids also makes an adjustable vest style harness that is most similar to the kind I prefer to wear.
You can check out more styles and designs in adjustable clothing for your pets at My Canine Kids. And find out where to purchase their gear!
And now for the best part…..
