My Canine Kids Perfect Fit Dog Harness & Fleece Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer : This is a sponsored post and giveaway brought to you by My Canine Kids.

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m always super excited when I get to test out clothing, since being a dachshund means that your body type is not the norm – and it can be quite difficult to find harnesses, jackets, sweaters and coats that accommodate my long body but short legs. Needless to say, I’m quite excited to share with you the Precision Fit Harness and a Precision Fit Sport Fleece from my pals at My Canine Kids.

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Since summer has officially decided to head on out of Eastern Pennsylvania, I have found myself in need of a jacket on the farm for my early morning farm chores.

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Precision Fit Line from My Canine Kids is quite unique in that it is designed to be fully adjustable. As in your clothes and harnesses can grow with you should you perhaps pack on a few extra pounds (not that I condone that) or are a puppy going through a growth spurt, or perhaps you just have an odd dachshund shaped body that can be hard to fit.

The front of the Fleece velcros in two points so that you can easily make it snugger or looser.

And the belly strap has an extra long piece of velcro to fit lots of different sized bellies. And the My Canine Kids line isn’t just for small dogs, they make their products in a variety of sizes to fit big and small dogs and every body type in between.

The Precision Fit Sport Fleece even comes with an handy hole to attach a leash through, although I do wish it was a bit further back so it could reach my harness.

I also got to test out the Precision Fit Step in Harness in blue.

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom says it totally makes me look like a body builder! Hey, I’ll take that!

Some key features about the Precision Fit Harness:

  • Harness sizing has 5 sizes covering dogs from 4 – 50 lbs
  • Military quality velcro for strength
  • Double dring leash closure
  • Mesh harness has reflective trim for night visibility
  • Core nylon harness is made in NYC

And because the top and sides are fully adjustable, it can make fitting your growing puppy or hard to fit dog a snap! I typically prefer harnesses that don’t go between my front legs, but I did notice that My Canine Kids also makes an adjustable vest style harness that is most similar to the kind I prefer to wear.

P.S. Don’t forget, today is the last day to enter my giveaway for a Mattie & Margot Collar and Leash!

 

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer : This is a sponsored post and giveaway brought to you by Mattie & Margot.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My pals over at Mattie & Margot recently sent me a collar and leash from their new STRIPPED collection.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This collection is great because it has a lower price point (starting at $20) and comes in two different widths to fit any size dog.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My gal pal Cricket the Cat was totally eyeing the Ice Blue color that my collar and leash set came in…..because it was oh-so-cool!

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m always on the lookout for leashes that come with these “claw” (not sure if that’s the real term for it) clasp like the STRIPPED Leash. I’m a strong believer that it’s a stronger and more durable option for a clasp than the standard snaps you see on a lot of leashes.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The STRIPPED collection is “stripped” of the traditional ribbon adornment that most of the Mattie & Margot collars you have seen me wearing come with, ideal for the minimalist at heart and great for a less expensive (but still very durable) collar. I’ve NEVER had a Mattie & Margot collar break on me in all the years I’ve been wearing them, not even when I’m rough-housing on the farm.

End of Summer Adventures

Summer is quickly coming to an end (how sad), and although there is lots to look forward to in the fall I’m still going to miss all the summertime fun. So I’ve been packing in as much excitement as I can!

End of Summer Adventures // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve been spending time with my favorite pony, Minnow, while he munches on the last bits of summer grass.

That Minnow is always trying to hog the camera with his cheesy smiles!

End of Summer Adventures // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m also squeezing in trips to the hardware store – to help mom and dad finish up all our summer projects around the house.

I’m also taking as many trips to the lake with mom and dad that I can. Pretty soon it’ll be much to chilly on the water for me!

End of Summer Adventures // Ammo the Dachshund

Mostly I’m just enjoying the warmth…..all before I have to break out my cool weather wardrobe!

Tiling a Farmhouse

Tiling a Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I decided to lend a helping paw and help my pal Trooper on the continuing work on his soon to be new farmhouse home.

Tiling a Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

While progress on Trooper’s new home is moving along, this weekend’s goal was to continue tiling.

Tiling a Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I knew just what to do to help too! We started a wrestling match to make sure that all the tile was nice and secure.

And good news, it held up just fine to our playtime antics.

There’s still lots more work to do, and mom says we better learn how to grout soon because it’s going to be a big big project!

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!
