Peach Industries Kickstarter Campaign for a Puffer Dog Bed! with Ammo the Dachshund

You may remember my friends over at Peach Pet Provisions from their Park It Mat that I reviewed on the blog last year. Well recently I was thrilled to hear they were launching a brand-new product with the help of a fun Kickstarter Campaign!

Peach Industries sent me over one of their new Peach Pillow Beds in grey to take for a spin.

As you can see I barely made it all the way onto the bed before I was overcome with it’s super softness. Pillow Bed for sure! This thing is extra soft and comfy, so much so that mom and dad tried to steal it from me. Not gonna lie, I’ve already caught mom lounging on it in front of the TV.

Thermos Heated Pet Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Being a dachshund there is one thing that all us dachshunds out there can agree on….and that is that the world is NEVER WARM ENOUGH! Searching for the ever-elusive sun spots are fine and all, but what if I told you there was a better way! Thanks to my new friends at ThermoSiv I’m now sleeping toasty in my new Smart Heating Pet Bed from them.

Thermos Heated Pet Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Their pet beds are the only ones of their kind that operate on 12/24v ensuring there is NO RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. They also come in a variety of patterns, colors, and sizes – this one here is the Grey Pattern Small Pet Bed.

The handy control box can adjust the heat to three different settings (105, 113, and 120 degrees F).

Of course I told mom to JACK IT UP! One can never be too warm and toasty!

The ThermoSiv control box actually controls a thin heating pad that is tucked inside the bed. The carbon-coated threads are semi-conductive, and the fabric is designed as an intrinsically safe system, making the ThermoFabric inflammable, with no short-circuit hazard.

I loved the heat so much that I couldn’t even let mom photograph the pad without me flopping on top of it!

I’m loving my heated bed so much that when left out my parents find me napping on it all the time.

Heat Therapy has been known to have the following benefits:

  • Decreases joint stiffness
  • Relieves muscle spasms
  • Increases blood flow
  • Leads to pain relief. Affects soft tissue injury
  • Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue
  • Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrated, edema, and exudes.

I’ve actually been using my ThermoSiv Pet Bed at night (in mom & dad’s big dog bed). Instead of entwining myself next to my parents for warmth – I lay on my heated bed instead. I love it because it’s warm and mom loves it because I’m not kicking her at night anymore!

Friday Fetch: Good Dog Build-a-Leash

Posted on by

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!

10 Fall Sweaters that Fit Dachshunds

Posted on by

While I know not everyone who reads my blog owns a dog of the long and short sausage type. But I think it’s safe to say that a lot of you probably do. So in an effort to help out my fellow short legged/long backed friends out there I gathered up a few of my favorite sweaters that work well for dachshunds! Mostly because fall sweaters are just so much fun!

And even if you don’t have a dachshund, many of these would work on lots of other breeds as well!

10 Sweaters that Fit Dachshunds

 

1. Warm Weenies

ammo the dachshund in sweater

Handmade in Missouri, I personally have owned one of these handmade sweaters – and it looks like they now sell patterns so you can make your own too!

2. My Fabulous Puppy

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

While not specifically designed for dachshunds, the sweaters at My Fabulous Puppy seem to fit quite well – with many of their up-cycled designed geared towards the longer bodied dogs.

3. By Chance Designs

Ammo the Dachshund // Birthday Wrap-Up

With lots of fun, handmade cable knits this sweater remains one of my favorites!

4. What’s Up Dox

Whats Up Dox Dachshund Sweaters

While I haven’t specifically tried these fleece sweaters, it looks like they are the perfect fit for Dachshunds!

5. Noodle and Friends

Noodle and Friends Stroodle // Ammo the Dachshund

These noodle and friends fleece sweaters are the perfect thing to lounge around the house in and are also great for layering under heavier jackets when it gets really cold.

6. My Canine Kids

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This fleece sweater is great because it’s adjustable so it’s perfect for a growing puppy or a dog who’s weight may fluctuate.

7. Houndz in the Hood

Houndz in the Hood // Dachshund sweater

While I’ve never tried any sweaters from this line, it looks like they have the long-backed dogs in mind!

8. Voyagers K9

These custom fleece sweaters can be made to fit any sized dog, and mine has lasted me for many many years!

9. Dachshund Delights

Dachshund Delights Sweaters

I’ve never tried the line of sweaters from Dachshund Delights, but they do look especially cozy!

10. Puppy Love

Again, not one I’ve personally tested, but these sweaters look oh-so-snuggly and the perfect fit for wiener dogs!

So what do you think, ready to wrap your wiener dog up in something warm? Any sweaters to add to my list?

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at The Eclectic Hound sent me over this adorable martingale collar to take for a spin.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now Martingale Collars are all the rage right now, but did you know that they were originally designed for sight hounds, such as greyhounds and whippets, whose heads are smaller than their necks and can easily slip out of traditional buckle collars.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The same can be true for Dachshunds and more and more trainers recently have been recommending them for dogs of all breeds and sizes because of their safety.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Designed to slip over your dog’s head, this collar from the Eclectic Hound should then be adjusted so you can fit 1 -2 fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The martingale loop, which functions by gently tightening around the dog’s neck when pressure is applied to the leash, makes it so your dog can’t back out of the collar.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Eclectic Hound Shop has so many fun collar designs it can be hard to decide which one to get (or get them all!), but ultimately I chose this preppy alligator design, because I’m pretty sure it makes me look extra tough. Or preppy I guess depending on how you look at it!

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So if you’d like your dog to look preppy and tough at the same time too, you can save 15% off your next purchase at The Eclectic Hound with code AMMO15.

And now for the best part…..

Over the past several months I’ve been helping my mom design our very own set of adorable dachshund prints for my shop. With yours truly as the muse we are finally able to introduce 6 sweet prints that are now available for purchase!

Each one was completely hand-drawn by my mom on her tablet and has been professionally printed on a petite 4″x4″ size – most appropriate considering us dachshunds are short and sweet.
