Paw Street Barkery Review & Giveaway

Paw Street Bakery Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at the Paw Street Barkery thought my tummy was looking a little hungry (isn’t is always) so they kindly sent me over some sweet treats from their organic dog treat line.

Paw Street Barkery Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course when my pal Trooper caught wind of the fact that there were some yummy treats at my house – he jumped at the chance to help me taste test all of them – how thoughtful.

Paw Street Barkery sent over three yummy flavors for me to try. Mom’s favorite part about them was the limited ingredients, which are perfect for even the most sensitive of tummies.

The good thing about reviewing cookies is that there’s lots of taste testing required.

Paw Street Barkery Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Both Trooper and I agree, Paw Street Barkery makes a mean cookie….and we’re more than happy to vacuum up any and all crumbs should our services be needed to taste test again.

Betsy Farms & Minities Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own.

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I are pretty hard working farm dogs, and when we’re busy with farm chores we can work up quite the appetite. So we were thrilled when we got the chance to test out some of Betsy Farms’ Chicken Jerky Chews and Minties’ Dental Chews.

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Betsy Farms‘ Chicken Jerky chews are made in the USA and do not include artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors while Minties Dental Chews are also made in the USA and free of wheat, gluten, soy, corn, artificial flavors and animal by-products.

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So after running around on the farm all day Trooper and I couldn’t wait to test out our new chews.

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Betsy Farms Chicken Jerky smelled delicious and was the perfect size to break into smaller bite sized pieces, because even farm dogs have to watch their weight.

I’m pretty sure the looks on mine and Trooper’s faces are enough to tell you how much we loved them!

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now you may notice that Trooper and I have some nice pearly white smiles, and we’d definitely like to keep it that way!

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom is always on the lookout for healthy treats to help keep my choppers looking this clean, because we all know that farm dogs don’t always have time to brush their teeth!

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These Minties Chews seemed to fit the bill containing five natural ingredients that work in your dog’s mouth and stomach to promote fresh breath and reduce unpleasant odors:

  • Mint promotes minty fresh breath.
  • Parsley contains enzymes that help break down odor-causing particles in the stomach.
  • Dill helps inhibit bacterial growth and helps prevent early stages of gingivitis.
  • Fennel helps control bacteria and is a natural breath freshener.
  • Chlorophyll from alfalfa balances acid levels in the stomach and helps deodorize your dog’s body.

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

And guess what, even with all those fancy things to keep your teeth clean, they still taste yummy.

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Who knew keeping your teeth clean could be as easy as eating!

Betsy Farms and Minties Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So thanks to our Betsy Farms and Minties Chews Trooper and I are now energized and ready to get back to our farm duties with pearly whites to boot!

As a bonus you can save $1 off your own package of Minties Chews when you like the VetIQ Facebook Page!

Summer at the Pool

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

Hot summer days are always best spent by the pool, which is exactly where I headed last weekend!

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

I took some relaxing raft rides.

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

I even worked on my tan.

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

But what I was most excited for was to dig into this month’s Barkbox!

Mom took some great videos of me enjoying my Barkbox poolside, unfortunately the computer decided the videos looked way too yummy to share and ate them all! So instead I’ll have to share my pool adventures with you via photographs. Hopefully you won’t be as sad about it as I am.

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

So after digging into my Barkbox I decided to break open the Louisiana Crab Jerky, because everyone knows you have to eat crab when you lounge by the pool.

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

I even chowed down on these PetSafe Indigo Chews, which tasted just as yummy even though mom says they are supposed to boost my antioxidants and clean my teeth all at the same time!

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

In fact I was having so much fun with my Barkbox that I decided to take it out to sea with me. Dad may or may not have had to save me when I drifted a bit too far.

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

Sadly we had an incident on the water though, as Mr. Whale forgot to wear his life vest and took a tumble into the pool.

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

Not to worry though, I’m an expert life guard – and wasted no time in rushing to his rescue.

It helps if you listen to baywatch music while looking at this photograph.

I’m also great at mouth to mouth resuscitation….maybe with a nibble thrown in here or there for good measure!

Boy, who know pool day could be so exciting!

Hide n’ Seek with your Dog

Disclaimer : This is a sponsored post brought to you by Chewy.

Sometimes on rainy days or days where I have to spend a little extra time indoors mom likes to play a fun game with me.

Hide n’ Seek is quickly becoming one of my favorite games, and I’m getting quite good at it (even when blindfolded!). Keep reading to find out how you can play this game with your dog!

Hide n' Seek with your Dog // Nature's Prairie All Natural Oven-Baked Biscuits // Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

To start you need some yummy treats. I decided to use this package of Nature’s Variety Prairie All Natural Oven-Baked Biscuits from my friends over at Chewy.com.

Hide n' Seek with your Dog // Nature's Prairie All Natural Oven-Baked Biscuits // Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

These peanut butter and banana cookies contain no corn, wheat, soy, artificial preservatives, colors or flavors and are made right here in the USA!

So to get my game of Hide n’ Seek started mom asks me to sit and wait (sometimes in the same room, other times in another room so I can’t see), and then she hides my cookies all around the room.

Once their hidden she releases me to find them!

See why this game is so fun!

Instinct Rawboost Treats Product Review and Giveaway from Chewy.com

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Chewy.

My pals over at Chewy.com recently offered me the chance to test out some of Nature’s Variety Instinct Rawboost Minis Treats in the chicken flavor. I’ve secretly always wondered what eating raw was like – as it seems to have become a trend within the dog community – and trying out these raw treats seemed like a great way to jump into it.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom’s a bit too “chicken” to let me eat all my meals raw, but with these Rawboost treats I can have a taste of raw meat without needing to eat my main meals raw. These Rawboost treats offer up real, all natural chicken and pure raw ingredients – in a freeze dried treat form.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These tiny treats boast only 2 calories per treat, perfect for us dogs that like to watch our figure, and they are a great size to use as training treats too.

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course when I smelled that burst of raw chicken flavor I dropped everything and came sprinting over. Cricket better watch out, because when I smell chicken nothing is going to get in my way!

Instinct Rawboost Treats // Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Nothing is ever truly free at my house, so mom made me work for my treats, but as you can see from the video below – I’d pretty much to anything for a taste of these scrumptious chicken bites!
