Leela Ryan Luxury Dog Treats Review & Giveaway

Recently my new pal Leela Ryan (the cute pup behind the brand) sent me some of her luxury pet treats to try. These organic biscuits are made with all-natural fruits and vegetables and they’re packaged in style so that they look cute on the counter, or in my case the barn!

These yummy treats come in three flavors, Banana Pudding, Tartes Aux Pommes (apple pie), and Wild Berry Scones.

As Trooper and I took in a big breath of that delicious aroma, we had a thought. The Tartes Aux Pommes (apple pie) treats from Leela Ryan contained the exact same ingredients that our pony friends love too: Organic Oats, Organic Apples, and Cinnamon.

Our ponies loved them! And mom loved that she could carry around one set of treats for all of us.

These organic, all-natural, 100% made in the USA treats are something all us critters on the farm can look forward to snacking on now.

While the Leela Ryan brand is built around luxury, decadence, and beautiful organic treats, I hate to say it……but us boys aren’t exactly  “luxurious” when we eat cookies.

Leela Ryan Luxury Dog Treats Review & Giveaway

Leela Ryan is probably covering her eyes in embarrassment looking at these photos of Trooper and I snacking on her yummy cookies. Especially since I have drool on my nose. Sorry Leela Ryan, boys don’t know how to eat treats any other way!

Leela Ryan Luxury Dog Treats Review & Giveaway

Yup, there she is with her dis-approving look. I knew it.

You can fetch your dog some of the luxury organic pet treats from Leela Ryan (and see if you pup can eat them any daintier) from their online shop.

And now for the best part…

What to Do When Your Pet Has Seasonal Allergies

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s Springtime. The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, and the pollen is flying. And just like you, I have seasonal allergies too!

My sneezing has been keeping everyone up at night, and that’s no fun for anyone.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

Thankfully my vet recommended I take a dose of Zyrtec (I’ve been using the generic version of it) each night before I go to bed.

And thankfully my mom knew I needed something extra special to “help the medicine go down”. These Wellness Core SuperFood Protein Bars from Chewy.com are the perfect addition to my allergy med dose.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

These nutrient-dense protein nuggets are packed with quality animal protein, without fillers or grains, and with wholesome superfoods. Their chewy size is easy to break apart into smaller doses to take my medication each night.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom cuts one of my Zyrtec pills in half  – I weigh 20lbs and she’s been giving me a 5mg dose once a night – although my vet said I could take 10mg.

What To Do When Your Dog Has Seasonal Allergies // Ammo the Dachshund

She then hides my pill inside my Wellness Protein Bars. I’m none the wiser (although don’t tell mom I’d probably eat anything she handed me) and mom feels better knowing I’m not only eating a 100% natural (made in the USA) treat that I go crazy for, but that I won’t be up all night sneezing either.

So if you’re in need of a good wholesome treat, that can also double as a pill disguiser I recommend checking out the Wellness Core Grain-Free Protein Bars from Chewy.com!

Betsy Farms & Minities Review & Giveaway

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.

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!

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

Boy, who know pool day could be so exciting!

Evanger's Wild Salmon Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My friends over at Chewy.com recently sent over this package of Evanger’s Wild Salmon Freeze Dried Treats for me to try.

Evanger's Wild Salmon Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

They smelled so delish that I couldn’t even keep my paws off them long enough for mom to snap a few photos.

Evanger's Wild Salmon Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Wild Salmon is high in protein and low in calories and saturated fat. Great to give your pets with food allergies and they’re also made in the USA.

Evanger's Wild Salmon Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Made with just one ingredient (Salmon) these treats tasted like they were fresh out of the stream! They were a bit too crumbly to be used as a training treat when we are out and about, but made for the perfect after dinner snack!

Evanger's Wild Salmon Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You can fetch these Evanger’s Salmon Treats from Chewy.com for about $6.

Natural Pet Warehouse Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my pals over at the Natural Pet Warehouse offered me the chance to test out some of their Tuckers USA Chicken Breast Jerky, I licked my lips and said send it on over!

Natural Pet Warehouse Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These chicken jerky strips are individually sealed for freshness and made with human grade meat from the US and Canada. It’s great to know that what I’m eating is made from a single ingredient, chicken!

Natural Pet Warehouse Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now it’s hard to tell in this photo, but these things are as juicy and fresh as you can imagine.

Natural Pet Warehouse Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom tried to tear off a tiny piece for me to try, but I snatched the whole thing out of her hand before she had a chance to tell me not to! (I’m a sneaky boy). But how can you resist with that juicy chicken waving in your face?

P.S. apparently third times the charm when trying to pose with a package of jerky! hehe

And now for the best part…..
