Drool Worthy TRU harvest® Dog Treats

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

When you’re a dog it can sometimes be difficult to communicate to the humans exactly what you want. While we might not be able to speak in the true sense, we have become rather creative in expressing what we like and dislike to our humans.

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

That’s exactly what happened when these new TRU harvest® treats from Walmart recently showed up at the farm!

See these brand new treats are made with Ancient Grains (Barley, Spelt, and Quinoa), which are naturally low in fat and contain more nutrients than common grains. They also contain NO corn, soy, wheat, artificial colors or flavors, or poultry by-products. And the very first ingredient is REAL meat….real meat you say….

Mom got Trooper and I drooling by first tempting us with TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains Chewy Bars with barley, spelt & quinoa. They come in a Chicken, Cheese, & Tomato Flavor or the Turkey & Cranberry Flavor.

Then as if that weren’t enough she whipped out the TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains Wavy Strips with barley, spelt & quinoa! They also come in two flavors, Chicken & Sweet Potato or Turkey & Pumpkin.

To make things worse, Trooper and his tall self stole a bite before I even got to taste them! The nerve!

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

It was finally time to break out the big guns and exercise my right to freedom of speech. Mom was going to surely know EXACTLY what I wanted this time!

And from what I hear, I’m not the only one begging for more of these treats…just check out the video below….

I’ll be honest, the dogs in that video are pretty good at telling their humans what they want, but they’ve got nothing on Trooper and I…

Ok, well Trooper is a bit of a lost soul, but I’m pretty darn good at expressing myself!

So if you don’t want to be the victim of your dog’s communication skills, then you might want to grab them some TRU harvest® Dog Treats with Ancient Grains, found exclusively at Walmart.

A Safe Adjustable Leash Option for Dogs + A Giveaway

A Safe Adjustable Length Dog Leash from Ruffwear + A Giveaway

It’s that time of year when one of my favorite pet companies, Ruffwear, comes out with their new Spring gear!

I was super excited this time around to be able to test out their new Slackline Leash.

A Safe Adjustable Length Dog Leash from Ruffwear + A Giveaway

At first glance it may look just like an ordinary dog leash, but I can tell you it is not.

A Safe Adjustable Length Dog Leash from Ruffwear + A Giveaway

The Ruffwear Slackline Leash is an adjustable-length leash from 6 feet to 3.5 feet. Its adjustable length can be fully extended for relaxed walks, or shortened for more control as needed.

Essentially this leash replaces those highly dangerous retractable leashes – which I don’t really recommend.

Mom and Dad love the padded handle which also includes a convenient accessory loop for pick up bags or small clip-on items.

The Slackline leash can also be handheld or waist-worn with the handy buckle, which also makes it easy if you ever need to tie your dog while out on a walk.

It’s also got reflective trim for safety, and comes in 4 fun colors: Twilight Grey (pictured), Meadow Green, Purple Dusk and Kokanee Red.

A Safe Adjustable Length Dog Leash from Ruffwear + A Giveaway

And incase you are wondering, there is still plenty of length to this leash when extended to allow me to explore all the fascinating places I find on my walks! And can still quickly shorten when I need to stay closer to mom and dad.

The Slackline Leash has been great for my walks to work in the morning, where sometimes I need to stay closer to mom incase of oncoming traffic. But don’t worry, I also always practice looking both ways before I cross the street (as seen in the video above).

You can fetch the new Ruffwear Slackline Leash for your dog for $39.95 (with FREE SHIPPING for orders over $75)!

And now for the best part….

Pet Shower and Massager in One + A Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by MIU Pet. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets will love.

MIU Pet Shower and Messager in one + A Giveaway

So it’s totally that time of year when Trooper and I enjoy rolling in mud and generally getting pretty dirty on the farm (and one of us really loves to go down dirty groundhog holes). So it comes at no surprise that we find ourselves in the bath A LOT.

Thanks to my new friends at MIU Pet Trooper and I now have a new tool to make bath time a bit quicker (so we can get back to all that running around on the farm!)

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

The MIU Pet Multi-Functional Handheld Pet Shower is a tool designed to make bathing simple again with single hand operation.

It comes with a shower head, stainless steel hose, and 4 hose adapters to fit most faucets.

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

The shower head has an easy to reach button on the side to control the flow of water, plastic prongs that provide gentle massage and makes your pet bathing enjoyable, and under that blue cap on the bottom is an opening that allows you to add soap to the shower head that can be released with the touch of another button.

While this pet shower is designed for indoor and outdoor use, the attachments that come with it are designed to hook to a bathroom shower head or indoor faucet, similar to the one pictured below:

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

Since I didn’t have the right shower or faucet at my house I decided to test out the shower in the barn wash stall. Mom had to get a little creative with the how to attach the MIU Pet hose to the barn hose – but after picking up a few hose attachments at the hardware store we were ready for a bath.

Well, technically Trooper was ready for a bath! (it’s still a bit too cold for me and my short hair to have a bath outside this time of year).

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

So after adding some soap to the shower head, we were ready to get Trooper all squeaky clean!

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

Trooper has the ideal hair type for this type of shower head, because the massaging prongs came in real handy with getting soap and water deep into his thick coat of hair.

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

The one-handed design of this pet shower came in real handy. With one hand free to keep Trooper from running off, the other hand could easily bathe the dog without having to put down the hose in search of soap or a brush….because it’s all right there!

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

All squeaky clean after his bath!

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

While the MIU Pet Shower can do many things, there is one thing it can’t do….keep Trooper from rubbing off his clean dog smell on the barn walls!

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

While Trooper loved that his bath time was cut in half, I loved that he was the one that had to test it instead of me! 😉 I’ll reserve my baths for the 80 degree weather, thank you very much.

MIU Pet Shower and Massager in one + A Giveaway

Trooper wasn’t the only one that got to test the MIU Pet Shower though, even the horses found a use for it!

You can fetch the MIU Pet Shower from Amazon, and be sure to check out more of their pet products on the MIU Pet Website.

Bonus! You can save 20% your next order with code MPTOAMMO

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Paint Your Life. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets will love.

Shopping small businesses

As many of you may recall I spend most of my week working at mom’s custom picture frame shop. So over the years I’ve developed a love of the arts. So when my new friends over at Paint Your Life offered to do an oil painting of yours truly I said “why of course the world could use more paintings of me!”

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your Life

Over at Paint Your Life they have a whole variety of different art mediums you can choose, and not only can you commission a painting of your pet, but they can even paint people too.

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your LifeFor me the hardest part was then choosing what photo I wanted them to paint my portrait from. Goodness knows my mom has thousands of pictures of me from over the years.

So the really neat part is you can actually send Paint Your Life several photos and they can recommend which one would make the best paintings (but ultimately the decision will be up to you).

I combed through years worth of pictures and picked out a few that I thought would be fun to hang on my bedroom wall.

 

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your Life

After sending them off to Paint Your Life they recommended I get my portrait painted from the one of me sleeping on my dog bed. Which is great, because that was actually my top pick too!

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your Life

A couple weeks later they sent me an online proof to approve, which I could either accept or even request additional changes to be made. As I suspected though, it came out fantastic from the start so I had them ship it to my door right away!

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your LifeWhile I certainly knew I’d love my painting, it’s great to know that Paint Your Life offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee. So if you aren’t happy they will redo it or refund your money in full.

Shipping is also always free, and you never have to pay for your painting in full up front. (just 20% down).

Regardless you always have plenty of time to request changes and review your painting before it even ships to your door, and the whole process is extra simple through their website!

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your Life

The likeness is uncanny don’t you think? (It’s even more beautiful in person!)

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your Life

When you order your painting from Paint Your Life you can even choose to have it framed or stretched onto stretcher bars, however since I do work in a picture frame shop I decided I could do that part for myself (well at least make mom do it for me). So once my painting arrived I set out to pick out a frame!

Affordable Pet Portraits + A Giveaway from Paint Your Life

I narrowed my frame picks down to two…but I can’t decide! So you’ll just have to help me choose by leaving a comment below on which one you think I should put on my painting – the grey frame or the teal with grey liner?

You can grab your very own pet portrait (or any portrait for that matter) from Paint Your Life, and as a bonus save 40% off your next order with code AMMO40

You can even ENTER TO WIN A CUSTOM PAINTING FROM PAINT YOUR LIFE! (a $299 Value)

To enter simply use the widget below. This contest is open to Worldwide readers too!

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by Pepper Petwear. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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!

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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).

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

My new jacket even has these great reflective strips on the sides for added visibility.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

My new Pepper Petwear coat held up for (repeated) trips under the farm fencing.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

It survived excursions in the manure pile (and didn’t stink too terribly bad afterwards).

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

It didn’t rip when I climbed through brush and sticks.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

It still gave me plenty of freedom to dig (and didn’t hold onto the dirt).

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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…

A GPS Pet Tracker with no Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Iota GPS Tracker. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets might love.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

Way back when my mom decided to help fund a little kickstarter campaign for the Iota GPS Pet Tracker. Fast forward to about a month ago, and suddenly this little white box was strapped to my neck!

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

See what makes the Iota a little different than most GPS Trackers for pets is this little contraption sitting next to me (the Home Base), it’s because of this that there are no monthly fees, unlike most Trackers you might see on the market that require a monthly or yearly fee for their tracking services. And when you can save those extra pennies for more important things (like dog toys), that’s always a good thing!

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

You simply set up the home base inside your home near a window, and it connects up with your own Wifi network. Each home base can then track your tracker up to 1 – 4 miles away. And the cool part is Iota Trackers can connect to any home base in your area, meaning if your neighbor has one your reach is already extended even further.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

The Iota is also the smallest pet GPS I’ve ever tried, which can make a big difference when you’re a small dog. I certainly can’t have some hunky thing on my collar weighing me down!

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

The free Iota App allows you set up geo-fences for your dog. Which is essentially a “safe area” that you would like your dog to stay in, when they enter or exit the area you can receive an alert on your smart phone.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

You can then set up as many Iota trackers as you like within the app to monitor all of your pets. It even has a handy feature to notify you when the battery level is running low. The iota’s battery can to last up to approximately one month and is rechargeable for 200+ cycles. That’s a pretty long time.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

When it does need charging there is a handy charger that plugs into any USB port.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

I’ve been wearing my Iota around home, and when mom and dad leave me home alone. Even though its very rare that I ever “escape” my fenced yard, my parents feel safer knowing they would be alerted if I ever left the area.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

For testing purposes though we drove my Iota to the farm one day to see if it would alert my mom to the fact that it left the geo fence, and not long after exiting the designated area mom got a notification on her phone.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

And the alert also showed up on the app’s notifications too.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

Eventually the Iota will be adding more features like temperature sensors (to alert you if the Iota is above or below a certain temperature). Each iota is also weatherproof and submersible up to 3 feet.

The Iota also has a cool little ring feature, so if you’re trying to find your dog (who’s maybe really good at playing hide-n-seek like me), you can just turn on the sound to find them quicker.

If you’d like to find out more about Iota you can check them out here, and you can even use code ammo4iota to save $15 off your order with them!

And now for the best part…

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

ONE WINNERS WILL WIN A HOME BASE & IOTA INTRO KIT!

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

As a dog, I’ve always taken home security very seriously. Parked on my perch, I spend my day defending my fortress from anything out of the ordinary. It’s an exhausting job, but apparently I’m the only one willing to do it!

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Until I was introduced to Kidde RemoteLync that is! The RemoteLync Monitor and the RemoteLync Camera pictured above are my new friends in making sure my home is safe and secure.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

The RemoteLync Monitor is a smart home device that will listen for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home and send an alert to your smart phone if a problem arises. (even I can’t do that!)

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

The RemoteLync Camera is a battery operated, cordless camera that alerts you via smartphone when motion is detected in your home.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Together with the free Kidde RemoteLync App, there really isn’t much left for me to do except…

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

…be a dog again! (AKA park myself on the couch and watch cartoons!)

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

See with the touch of a button mom and dad can arm and disarm my house via their phones so that the RemoteLync can start listening for any smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors that go off, and watch for any intruders that might enter my home. You can even set it to arm & disarm automatically when you come and go from your home via GPS.

Home Security to Let Your Dog Be A Dog + A Giveaway with Kidde

Mom loves that she can even arm it when I’m left home alone, and feels safer knowing should there ever be a fire she’d be notified right away so I’m not in danger. The camera can even be set to ignore pet movements, so she’s only told if something out of the ordinary happens at home. (I guess I won’t be having any secret parties anytime soon).

Checkout these videos from Kidde on how the RemoteLync System works:

February is National Pet Dental Care Month

Posted on by

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by Chewy.com and does contain some affiliate links. All opinions are my own and I received a product in exchange for my honest review. I only share products that I think you and your dogs will love.

Since February is the month dedicated to dental care for pets I thought it would be fun to check out all the ways I’ve kept up with my oral health over the years. #NationalPetOralHealthCareMonth 

Emmi-Pet Dog Dental Toothbrush Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Emmi-Pet is an electric dental tooth brush designed for pets that cleans teeth without the need of vibration. While I found this to be a great tool, I sort of fell off the wagon when it came to keeping up with brushing regularly (I know, shame on me). Fetch the Emmi-Pet Toothbrush.

Clean Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund

I tried the Tropiclean Teeth Gel for a time, it’s a great way to add some cleaning power to your dog’s teeth without the need to use a toothbrush. You can even spread it onto your dog’s chew toys. I did thoroughly enjoy this cleaning method, but again I wasn’t great about keeping up with a routine. Fetch the Tropiclean Teeth Gel.

How to Maintain your Dog's Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund // Pet Dental Health Month

Mom even used a pet dental scraper on me. This is a great way to remove plaque buildup, and something I still have done on occasion when my plaque buildup gets noticeable. Fetch a Pet Dental Scraper.

How to Maintain your Dog's Teeth // Ammo the Dachshund // Pet Dental Health Month

Dental Chews are another great way to fight plaque if your dog likes to chew on them. I tend to be really interested in them at first, but eventually loose interest in the toys after a few weeks. One of my favorite chew toys that I have remained in is the Benebone which encourages me to chew on a regular basis (and I use it almost every night). Fetch a Benebone Dental Chew.

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

My absolute favorite way to keep my teeth looking sparkly is with dental chews. Lately I’ve been snacking on these Zuke’s Z-Bones Dental Chews from Chewy.com. Seriously what’s better than cleaning your teeth by eating something delicious!

Key Benefits of Zuke’s Z-Bones in Clean Berry Crisp

  • Potato and pea-based formula which is highly digestible
  • Alfalfa, parsley, rosemary, and fennel naturally freshen breath by supporting digestion
  • Helps polish teeth, freshen breath, and maintain healthy gums
  • Nutrient-rich cherries are a powerful source of antioxidants
  • Available in four sizes to accommodate all dogs 10 lbs or larger
  • Made in the USA!

My mom’s favorite part about these chews is that not only do they help clean my teeth and freshen my breath, but they also contain Turmeric. You may have heard me mention this ingredient before, but it’s been studied for its antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and can help prevent cancer in your pet. That’s a big plus in my book!

Zuke's Z-Bones - Chews to Keep your Pet's Teeth Clean

So while I’ll continue to do my best in keeping my teeth healthy and clean, I most certainly won’t give up my daily dental chews…..it’s my favorite part of the day!

Grab some Zuke’s Z-Bones from my friends at Chewy.com! #ChewyInfluencer

Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway are brought to you by Bark Solution. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love.

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

I am a Dachshund. And being a Dachshund means that I do have one distinct trait (ok aside from being short) that makes me like all the other Dachshunds out there…..I like to bark. Not just an occasional alert bark to let you know someone is at the door, more like I could sit and bark out the window for a good solid hour at the same thing.

Does your dog like to do this too? Yeah, it’s pretty fun right?

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

Well apparently I’ve been informed that the humans don’t really like all that barking. (shocker right?) Sometimes when I’m barking the humans like to join in too by yelling at me to stop. But did you know that when you do this I just think you’re barking with me, which reinforces that I’m doing a good job and we should definitely be barking at something!

Recently my parents were introduced to a new product called Bark Solution that’s supposed to help the humans in telling us dogs that it’s not really appropriate to be barking.

Now I’d never enforce a product on my blog that was ever cruel or inhumane to animals, which lets face it, a lot of those “barking solutions” out there are just that (shock collars, sprays, etc), but Bark Solution is none of those things.

Bark Solution is simply a metal can filled with things that make a loud racket. So all you have to do when your dog is barking (and you don’t want them to be) is shake the can to interrupt their barking pattern.

Now us dogs, we’re designed to protect the humans (goodness knows they aren’t very good at protecting themselves), so the Bark Solution isn’t going to stop your dog from barking all together. But I did notice that when my parents shook it, it would distract me enough that eventually I sort of forgot what I was barking at all together.

*A helpful tip my parents found was that if they sort of snuck up on me with the Bark Solution it worked quicker in interrupting my barking pattern.

So if you’re looking for a way to humanely cut down on the amount of barking your dog does (without having to use harsh products or spending your day yelling at your dog), then you might want to check out Bark Solution.

My parents loved that it kept them from having to yell at me to stop barking all day, and lets face it, that doesn’t really work anyway.

You can also purchase this product on Amazon.

And P.S. isn’t the super fun retro packaging so cool too!

Now for the best part….
