Martha Stewart Pets Natural Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Martha Stewart Pets recently came out with a line of Natural Dog Treats available exclusively in Petsmart Stores and online. I was thrilled when I got to test out a few of these goodies from the Treat Shop, because this dog never says no to cookies!

Martha Stewart Pets Natural Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Martha Stewart’s line of treats was inspired by the delicious bakery goodies that humans can’t get enough of. It was discovered during testing that dogs love flavors like Peanut Butter Cookie and Pumpkin Pie just as much as people do! And I can totally confirm that!

The Martha Stewart Pets Natural Dog Biscuits are American-made and contain a simple list of natural ingredients.

The Peanut Butter Cookies were totally calling my name (It’s true, that peanut butter smell makes me go weak in my knees), but they also come in 5 delicious flavors; Cranberry Muffin, Pumpkin Pie, Oatmeal, Banana Bread, and Peanut Butter.

Boring is not in my vocabulary, so without further ado, here’s my napping spots this past month…

Dog Walking Light Belt Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by GoMotion. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think my readers will love!

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at GoMotion recently sent me their LiteBelt 100 to take for a spin. The LiteBelt 100 is a wearable light that can make walking your dog at night bright again!

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

Sadly it was a bit too large for me. But not to worry, mom informed me that it would actually work a lot better if she wore it on our evening walks.

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

The 100 Lumen Cree LED light on the front offers 3 adjustable light levels for spot to flood beam control. You can even rotate it to angle it up or down.

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the nifty features of the LiteBelt is that not only does it have a spotlight on the front, but it also has these handy rear lights that can make you more visible at night to cars.

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

The great thing about using one of these LiteBelts instead of a headlamp or flashlight is that it comes with lots of extra storage for all your dog walking essentials (like poop bags, keys, phone, treats, etc) and gives you your hands free (for doing things like picking up dog poop…..how fun!).

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

The belt itself comes in a breathable mesh with reflective trim and not only comes in the Hi-Vis Orange, but also a fun Coastal Blue color. And it’s even water resistant, so you can’t use that as an excuse not to walk your dog in the rain!

The LiteBelt runs on AA batteries (that are included) and even has a battery life indicator on the front to warn you if it’s running low. It runs up to 54 hours when used on the low beam setting.

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

Overall I thought the LiteBelt from GoMotion would be a great accessory for anyone that walks their dog at night.

You can fetch the LiteBelt 100 (as well as other wearable lighting options) from GoMotion for $59.95 and as a bonus you can save 20% off with code GMEVENT20

Friday Fetch: All-In-One Smart Dog Collar

Posted on by

I’m already a “GPS Dog”, with my trusty Trax collar that I love, but I couldn’t help but take notice of the new indiegogo campaign to fund Dogtelligent’s Connected Collar. The Connected Collar is a a proposed GPS Tracker, Activity Monitor, Safety Collar and Training Device all in one. Just check out the video below to see what it’s all about!

Friday Fetch: All-in-one Smart Collar // Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: All-in-one Smart Collar // Ammo the Dachshund

The most interesting thing to me was the ability for the Connected Collar to simulate a leash tug through vibrations – to perhaps keep your dog from running into traffic, or going too far from home. I can’t wait to see how these collars perform once they make it into production. There’s still 25 days to get involved with funding the Connected Collar into production, and eventually you’ll be able to fetch them from DogTelligent.

Watch What Happens When Dog Gets New Carpet

Posted on by

So recently my mom and dad decided to upgrade my living room carpet situation to something a little thicker, a little softer, and a lot more “scratch your back” friendly. After a little shopping trip to the West Elm Outlet in my area my parents came home with this fun rug…

How to make a Fake Rabbit Hole for your Dog

Posted on by

Disclaimer: this is NOT a sponsored post, but it does contain some affiliate links.

It’s no secret that I am OBSESSED with holes. After all, my breed was originally bred to go down holes and hunt down badgers.

ammo the dachshund digging

And go down holes I do! My mom has had to pull me out of many ground hog holes around the farm over the years, and because of my affinity to go hunting whenever I feel like it I now wear a GPS tracker whenever I’m on the farm. While my tracker gives mom piece of mind, she’d still prefer my escapades kept me a little closer to the barn, which is why she decided to dupe me!

So I decided to share how my mom made me a DIY Fake Rabbit Hole so all you other dogs out there won’t get tricked like I did!

DIY Fake Scent Hole for Hunting Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Rabbit Scent (or any other scent your dog might prefer)
  • Spray Bottle
  • Water
  • String (I used bailing twine)
  • Paper Towel
  • Shovel or Post Hole Digger

DIY Fake Scent Hole for Hunting Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Step 1: Choose a spot to dig a hole about 2 feet deep. Make sure you choose a spot where no one could fall in it (placing a marker when it’s done is helpful too). A spot near a bush or tree makes it more believable to your dog as well.

DIY Fake Scent Hole for Hunting Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

As you can see just the sight of a hole was enough to get me interested!

DIY Fake Scent Hole for Hunting Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Step 2: Mix your Rabbit Scent with some water in a spray bottle and mist it into the hole. You can make it stronger by foregoing the water if your dog doesn’t seem interested.

DIY Fake Scent Hole for Hunting Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Step 3: Tie a paper towel to a string and mist with the rabbit scent. Drag the towel to and from the hole to leave a scent trail for your dog to follow.

DIY Fake Scent Hole for Hunting Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I picked up on the rabbit scent trail right away.

DIY Fake Scent Hole for Hunting Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

But only one of us really cared…..I’m pretty sure you can guess who!

Well I feel pretty silly getting tricked with a fake hole, but I did have a really good time digging to my hearts content. So fake or not, I don’t regret it one bit. Well except for the fact that it landed me in the bath a few hours later!

Do you think your dog would be tricked by a fake scent hole?

*Be advised that fake animal scents can attract other wild animals as well. So be aware of where you are putting it, and make sure to supervise your dog especially if they are out at night.Ammo the Dachshund

Wag & Ramble Pet Soap Review & Giveaway

It’s Spring time. And if there is one thing that goes hand in hand with Spring…..it’s baths for your furry friends. Being a lover of all things stinky myself, I’m all too familiar with the bathtub this time of year. It’s a good thing my new friends over at Wag and Ramble sent me some of their handmade all natural pet soap to take for a whirl.

Wag & Ramble Pet Soap Review & Giveaway

I picked out their Peppermint and Lemongrass soap, but it also comes in Lavender/Eucalyptus & Lavendar/Lemongrass as well.

As much as I prefer the smell of stinky stuff, I have to admit this soap did smell pretty nice.

And if I have to endure bath time, then I guess I might as well enjoy the scent!

Wag & Ramble Pet Soap Review & Giveaway

My mom tried two different methods to applying bar soap to me during bath time (since previously I had only ever used liquid soap). First she applied to to a wash cloth and then rubbed it on my fur.

Wag & Ramble Pet Soap Review & Giveaway

Then she applied the bar directly to me.

Wag & Ramble Pet Soap Review & Giveaway

The direct approach seemed to work best…..and it didn’t take much soap to get me smelling great.

Wag & Ramble Pet Soap Review & Giveaway

It’s a shame you can’t convey smells through the internet, because after my bath I smelled oh-so-fresh!

Wag & Ramble Pet Soap Review & Giveaway

And I guess it’s not so bad…..although the scent of dirt and horse poo is still my favorite! Once bath time is over there is only one last thing to do…..

….roll around until that good smelling stuff is on something else other than you!

The Easter Bunny Came

Posted on by

Disclosure: This post is brought to you by my friends at Barkbox.

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

As you know Easter was this past Sunday. It’s one of my favorite holidays – as holidays that involve a bunny always make the top of my list! Alas though, when I woke up Sunday morning it seems I had just missed Mr. Bunny.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

But don’t worry, because the very special BarkBox Bunny never seems to miss my house, and this year was no exception. Check out the fun video of me diving into my Easter Basket:

That Barkbox Bunny knows just what kind of goodies I love!

After opening my basket I packed up and headed over to my mom-mom’s house where I was put in charge of hiding the easter eggs for all of my cousins (on account of I’m very good at finding hiding spots – mostly of the hole variety!).

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

That’s right, they’ll never find this one!

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

My cousins are pretty good at finding easter eggs, but I couldn’t let them have all the fun!

Too bad all the eggs I found had jelly beans in them….yuck!

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

After the egg hunt it was time for dinner. Unfortunately my family forgot to set a place for me at the table! Can you believe it! Don’t worry though, I found the perfect spot to look pathetic and got handed plenty of little nibbles.

And after I was nice and stuffed one of my cousins volunteered to take me for a walk. I burned off all those calories in a matter of minutes hunting for more easter bunnies!

K9 Couture Collars Review & Giveaway

k9 Couture Collars Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends at K9 Couture Collars recently sent me some new collars to update my wardrobe.

k9 Couture Collars Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

At K9 Couture Collars they believe that just like shoes, you can never have too many collars! And I have to say I totally agree with this. As a dog, who wants to wear the same collar everyday? Certainly not me, I have too much fashion sense for that.

k9 Couture Collars Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Everything they make is hand picked, assembled and hand sewn by them.

And the designs – they have so many! Tons of styles and colors and if you don’t see what you’re looking for you can even request something custom.

k9 Couture Collars Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Most of their collars are made with a thick nylon webbing and fabric overlay, and you can choose the collar width you prefer for your dog. You can tell each stitch is done with the utmost of care! They have many different styles and can come with plastic buckles or metal buckles and with a choice of standard buckle or martingale options.

k9 Couture Collars Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Personally I adore this gold metal buckle collar in mint julep. My mom prefers the metal buckles as they seem to be much sturdier and stronger. And at K9 Couture you can choose whichever options you prefer best for your own dog’s collar.

I haven’t seen many collars on the market with gold hardware, and this one just screams….I’m fancy and I know it!

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Today I have a really fun product to share with you that I think you (and your dog) are going to LOVE. The cute little hand knit item above is a snood from the talented Angela at Snug-A-Bull.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Just what exactly is a snood? Well essentially it’s a neck warmer and a hood for dogs that’s all wrapped in to one.

What’s a little different about the Snug-A-Bull snoods is that they can even come with these cute little ear holes to make sure they stay put on your dog.

You may have also noticed that my snood from Snug-A-Bull came personalized with my name on it. All their snoods can be personalized with not only names, but custom colors and sometimes even patterns too!

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I even noticed on their website that they can ADD cute little fleece ears to their snoods (think adorable bear like hood on your pup) – I just might have to pick up one of those someday, because we all know I look fantastic dressed as wild animals.

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My dark green and teal snood from Snug-A-Bull has come in handy lately, because even though it’s supposed to be Spring in Pennsylvania it’s still quite cold here (and we even got snow on the First Day of Spring!).

Snug-A-Bull Snood Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

A fun little fact about Snug-A-Bull, their shop mascots are named Bruce Wayne and Alfred. As a dog who loves everything super heroes himself….that’s just so cool!

By shopping at Snug-A-Bull you can also help the animal rescues! This month all sales are benefiting the Alive Animal Rescue.
