The 5-in-1 Leash You'll Love + A Giveaway

I’m totally the kind of dog that LOVES a multi-functional product. So when my friends over at HUND Denmark sent over their 5-in-1 Baldy Leash for me to test out I was super excited!

Friday Fetch: Ombre Dog Leashes

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Ammo

It’s true, I’ve got a weakness for rope leashes. Combine that with a nice bright ombre color and I’m head over heals! So when I stumbled across Puppy Happy on Etsy I was in love. As a bonus they also sell some cute dog-inspired wood phone cases too! Check it out…

Customization is one of my favorite things. If you want something cool, then you might as well design it yourself! So when I stumbled across Good Dog Leash, I just knew I had to share their customizable leash options.

By choosing a handle and a coil you can piece together many different color combinations and lengths. How fun!

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway

Posted on September 15, 2014 by Ammo

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My pals over at Mattie & Margot recently sent me a collar and leash from their new STRIPPED collection.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This collection is great because it has a lower price point (starting at $20) and comes in two different widths to fit any size dog.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My gal pal Cricket the Cat was totally eyeing the Ice Blue color that my collar and leash set came in…..because it was oh-so-cool!

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m always on the lookout for leashes that come with these “claw” (not sure if that’s the real term for it) clasp like the STRIPPED Leash. I’m a strong believer that it’s a stronger and more durable option for a clasp than the standard snaps you see on a lot of leashes.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The STRIPPED collection is “stripped” of the traditional ribbon adornment that most of the Mattie & Margot collars you have seen me wearing come with, ideal for the minimalist at heart and great for a less expensive (but still very durable) collar. I’ve NEVER had a Mattie & Margot collar break on me in all the years I’ve been wearing them, not even when I’m rough-housing on the farm.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You may have already caught me wearing my new Stripped collar on my Facebook page, as I’ve already been adorning myself with it’s cool blueness at work, on the farm, and lounging around my house.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You can fetch your own STRIPPED Collar or Leash from Mattie & Margot in a variety of colors and sizes starting at $20.

Lasso Ropes Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at Lasso recently sent me one of their fun rope collars, the Jib Petit. (to which I immediately attached one of my Pod ID tags – because one should never go without identification!)

Inspired by the sea, Lasso makes wonderful nautical collars, leashes, and even harnesses for all sea-dogs (or even non-sea dogs that just want to look super cool).

Lasso Ropes Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With lots of rope styles, colors, and sizes there is something to fit every dog’s need.

Of course as soon as I received my Lasso Collar I did what any dog with a nautical rope collar does……I strapped on my life vest and headed for the lake!

Lasso Ropes Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Even the boat rental crew at the lake commented on how appropriately dressed I was in my nautical collar! It held up well to all my water-time adventures and the size was perfect since all of the Lasso ropes are handmade!

Lasso Ropes Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

All of the Lasso products are made with brass fittings, which have great corrosive resistance, so I never have to worry about it looking less than stellar after my many summertime trips to the lake.

So if you are looking for some fun nautical rope accessories for your dog this summer (or even yourself since they sell a variety of human-friendly products too), I highly recommend you checkout Lasso!

You can save 10% off any small dog items at Lasso with code AMMO – coupon is valid until June 15th at 11:50PM.
