Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember that a couple of months ago I got to test out the new line of Kong Premium Treats, which were oh so yummy. Well now they have released a new batch of goodies, and of course I couldn’t wait to get my paws on them too!

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kong Pumpkin Stix

  • No Wheat, Corn or Soy
  • No Animal By-Products
  • No Harmful Preservatives or Colorants
  • Contains Vitamins and Minerals

These treats were soft, and great for stuffing into one of the kong toys I already owned. I think the Pumpkin Stix were my favorite of the Kong Premium Treats that I got to test out.

Kong American Chicken Tenders

  • Made in USA
  • All Natural
  • No Fillers
  • No Additives

These were a tougher chew that was much larger – but that didn’t stop me from chowing down!

Kong Double Rawhide Chews

  • 100% U.S. Beef Hide (Processed in Mexico)
  • No Harmful Preservatives
  • Helps Clean Teeth and Freshen Breath
  • Great Tasting and Long Lasting

These rawhide chews were definitely longer lasting, so if you have a dog that you need to keep occupied, then these are the treats for you. They might be better suited for a larger dog though, and always make sure you supervise your dog when giving them rawhides as they can sometimes be a choking hazard.

Below is a video of Trooper and I chowing down on these delicious Kong Premium Treats. Being taste testers is the best!

And now for your chance to do your very own taste test!

Snapshots of my Life

Posted on by

Instagram is by far one of my mom’s (and mine) favorite apps. It’s a way for me to share a tiny little glimpse into everyday life, whether that be running around on the farm, napping at work, or going on a fabulous adventure. So for those of you that don’t already follow me on Instagram, here’s a little peek into my everyday life:

Friday Fetch: PetEgo DIY Picasso Bed

Posted on by

Being an artist myself I’m always on the lookout for creative pet products. So when I came across PetEgo’s line of Picasso Pet Beds I was intrigued.

The concept of decorating your pet’s bed yourself with the provided washable markers is to enhance the relationship between you and your pet. The fun of being personal designers for our pets adds a unique touch to the enjoyment of being pet owners. This looks like a great product for kids to be involved with too!

Family Reunion

Posted on by

Over the weekend I snuggled into my carseat for a 2 hour drive to New Jersey for a family reunion of sorts.

Family Reunion // Ammo the Dachshund

I was going to visit some extended family that I had never met before, and even some special relatives that would be visiting from Germany.

Family Reunion // Ammo the Dachshund

When we arrived Trooper (who tagged along as well) and I were excited to meet our distant relative, Angel the rescued Golden Retriever!

Family Reunion // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I gave her a good sniffing and decided she smelled A-ok!

Then we wrestled! Well Trooper tried to wrestle while I faked playing dead until someone agreed to chase me around the yard (my favorite game of them all).

Family Reunion // Ammo the Dachshund

Angel proved to be a very fun playmate, and I’m pretty sure she had a little crush on me too (even if we are sorta family).

Eventually it came time for our visit to end, and Trooper and I to head back to Pennsylvania. It was hard to say goodbye to my family, and I think Angel was very sad to see us go. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for our paths to cross again! Ammo the Dachshund

To Dogs, Life is one Big Adventure!

Posted on by

Be More Dog // Ammo's O2 Commercial

A couple of months ago a campaign with O2, a UK based mobile company, launched a campaign aimed at being  more dog.

To dogs, life is one big adventure. They never stop playing and exploring.

I couldn’t agree more, which is why I think they picked me to make a little cameo appearance in one of their commercials! Check it out:

You can watch the full length version of my digging abilities in this recent blog post.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been on television – you can check out all my tv endeavors on my press page. And yes, I do sign autographs! Ammo the Dachshund

On the Lake with Friends

Posted on by

Adventures on the lake are quickly becoming my favorite thing to do in the summer. And at the Marsh Creek Boat Rental, where dogs are always welcome, there is a whole slew of fun to be had out on the water!

On the Lake with Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

I started out my adventure by renting a paddleboard with mom. There’s nothing quite like gliding through the water on one of those!

On the Lake with Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

This time I brought along my pal Shilah, for her very first boat ride in a motorized rowboat rental.

Dad also rented a kayak which I happily took a few laps around the lake in.

Since this was Shilah’s first trip to the lake I decided to let her test out the paddle board, which is one of my favorite rental choices.

On the Lake with Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah had also never been swimming before, so I gave her a little coaching from the sidelines.

Eventually though I hopped aboard to show her how to man her lake vessel with style. She’s only one, so she has lots of learning to do still!

On the Lake with Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah almost got to assist in her first water rescue when Dad accidentally tipped his kayak, but luckily things didn’t get too crazy.

Later I showed off my natural swimming skills, and it was enough to convince my pal to take her first dip too! You can see her showing off at the end of this video:

Being on the lake with my friends was so enjoyable I just didn’t want it to end!

On the Lake with Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

So when we landed back on shore I decided to practice some of my swimming skills.

On the Lake with Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve gotten quite good at playing fetch in the water, mom even picked up this new floating buoy toy for me from West Elm (which mom bought before it sold out).

Sigh, I’m so sad that summer is coming to an end, but hopefully I’ll get to squeeze in a few more lake trips before it ends!Ammo the Dachshund

 

Park Pals

Park Pals // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I went to the park with my gal pal Shilah the Husky. We had a blast climbing on the jungle gyms and riding the slides.

Here’s me showing Shilah how it’s done!

Shilah even took a ride on the swing set, I’m pretty sure if we let her she would of spent the night in that swing!

By the end of our park adventure I was pretty zonked! And the playground pit made a perfect spot to take a nap.

My nap was short lived though, because Shilah gave me dirty looks until I got up to play with her. Oh those youthful pups!

Can’t wait for my next playground adventure with Shilah! Ammo the Dachshund

Instinct Rawboost Treats Product Review and Giveaway from Chewy.com

Posted on by

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.

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!

Friday Fetch: Kurgo’s Tru-Fit Smart Harness with Camera Mount

Well with Kurgo’s Tru-fit Smart Harness you can now mount a camera to your dog’s chest or back. Specifically designed to work with GoPro cameras (and the Sony Action Cam), your dog can now catch all the action! I’m pretty sure any videos I took would include lots of digging and hunting!

Rainy Days at the Lake

Posted on by

On those hot summer days one of my very favorite things to do is to visit the Marshcreek State Park – home to my favorite lake. But what about on those rainy summer days? Well, I still like to visit the lake!

Rainy Days at the Lake // Marshcreek // Ammo the Dachshund

The day started hot and sunny enough, so I packed up my life vest (and my pal Shilah the Husky) and headed out to the lake.

Rainy Days at the Lake // Marshcreek // Ammo the Dachshund

I was surprised to find that the water was warm, as in bathtub warm! So I had no hesitation in jumping right in!

Shilah had a bit more hesitation with the water, would you believe she’s never been to a lake before! Not to worry though, I was able to coax her right in.

Just as I was starting to get warmed up a huge storm came through and dampened my chance to hop on a boat rental!

But after waiting out the heaviest of rain, I wasn’t going to let it spoil my fun, and it was back in the water for Shilah and me!

I even took to some good old fashioned dog paddling, because I of course had to show off my mad swimming skills to my pal Shilah!
