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!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the DachshundDisclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Prime Pet Supply.

My friends over at Prime Pet Supply recently offered me a chance to take their new pet products website for a spin. Shopping, now how did they know that would win me over?!

Prime Pet Supply stocks only the best and most natural pet foods, treats and supplies available on the market. So I hopped on their website in search of a few products to try, and picked out these fun goodies:

Once my goodies arrived at my doorstep I wasted no time in digging right in!

The hardest part was choosing what to try first!

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Two of the toys I picked up were the Kong Tugga Wubba Dog Toy and the Bionic Bone Dog Toy. Both of these toys are designed for tough chewers (which totally describes me) and after a couple weeks of play they are still holding up very well. The nice thing about the Bionic Bone is that it’s designed to be stuffed with treats – I’m thinking bully sticks just as soon as mom picks me up a few!

Next I tested some Etta Says! Freeze Dried Chicken Liver Treats, which I’m not gonna lie, I mostly chose these because there was a picture of a cute little dachshund on the front.

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m a big fan of freeze dried dog treats, especially since these are made in america, all natural, and contain no preservatives. Gotta love treats that taste good and are good for you! Yum!

The next product was something my mom picked out for me. Honestly, I wasn’t that thrilled about it because supposedly it’s supposed to mask that stinky dog smell that I work so hard to achieve.

Prime Pet Supply Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Earthbath All Natural Deodorizing Spritz in Vanilla Almond is designed to make your stinky dog smell much better. Mom was quite excited about this product, and I guess I can kinda be on board if it means I will get less frequent baths. I do admit the Vanilla Almond smell was quite pleasing, but not too over powering – and a bonus is it’s supposed to make my skin softer and my coat sleek and shiny!

Now the last product, and probably my favorite, was the Powzer Flash and Dash Ball. This thing was seriously cool. When the tough outer ball is shaken (or on impact) it lights up inside for over 70 hours of play. I had so much fun playing with this ball in the dark, just see for yourself….

Overall I thought Prime Pet Supply had some great products, and I also like to see that they carry a lot of all natural and healthy for you products – because that just means my mom is more likely to buy them for me!

And now for the best part…

ONE Lucky WINNER will WIN a $25 Gift Certificate to Prime Pet Supply!

Voyagers K9 Product Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Voyagers K9.

Voyagers K9 Apparel is a company that I am already pretty familiar with – having owned two of their custom made coats for several years now. So when I got the chance to test out one of their raincoats, I did a little happy dance (in the rain of course).

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

The unique thing about these coats are that they can be custom made to fit your dog, and not just pure breeds – ANY BREED OF DOG. So I sent in my measurements and pretty soon there was a package waiting at my doorstep with this spiffy new red raincoat that fits me oh-so-perfectly. I mean just look how tailored it fits, which is no easy feat for an oddly shaped dachshund body.

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

Unlike their winter and cold weather coats, this raincoat is light weight with a mesh lining – meaning even though it’s summer I don’t have to worry about getting overheated in it.

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I love the attached hood as it is the perfect for keeping my little ears dry, but I also have the option to unvelcro the front and fold it over too.

The coats from Voyagers K9 Apparel also come with holes to attach a leash to a collar and optional ones to attach to a harness as well.

And my final test of my spiffy new raincoat was to see how it faired in the rain – which as luck would have it a storm was rolling in on the farm!

Voyagers K9 Apparel for Dogs // Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I started off slow – testing my new coat inside under the drops of rain that were bouncing into the barn.

Each drop beaded up on my coat and kept me perfectly dry underneath, but the true test would be romping in the puddles outside! Check it out for yourself in my instagram videos below:

My new raincoat even kept me dry enough that I wanted to take a potty break outside in the rain – now that’s saying something!

The fact that I didn’t even need a bath afterwards is proof that this is one of the best raincoats out there! And if it’s anything like my winter jackets from Voyagers K9 (which have lasted me for over 3 years now), then you know it will hold up to the rigors of farm life!

So now onto the super awesome news for you!

Bandit at the Devon Horse Show

Posted on by

I’ve been a regular at the Devon Horse Show, one of the oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed competitions in the United States, since I was just a wee thing. This year was no exception as I couldn’t pass up attending the most exciting night at Devon – the Grand Prix, where horses jump fences over 5 feet high!!

The Devon Horse Show 2013 // Ammo the Dachshund

Being at Devon it is customary to be rubbing elbows with some of Chester County’s social elite. Babies and dog are included in this mix….

The Devon Horse Show 2013 // Ammo the Dachshund

After I did my fair share of obligatory tail wagging and butt sniffing, I settled in to watch one of Devon’s nightly exhibitions.

And lo and behold that’s when the bandit showed up! Well technically he’s the One Arm Bandit, but he certainly had some exciting bandit tricks up his sleeve (even for one arm).

After watching the One Arm Bandit perform I had worked up quite an appetite – so I headed to the food stands to grab some dinner, and also did some shopping along the way.

Devon always seems to have quite the menagerie of items for sale – although this time I came home empty handed despite my protests to bring home this cute little dachshund topiary!

Now here is the part where I tell you all about watching the Grand Prix Jumping into the sunset with beautiful pictures of the fancy horses. But mom forgot to empty her camera and there was no more room to take any photos (I’m pretty sure it was filled to the brim with my cute mug). But luckily the Devon Horse Show Facebook Page had some beautiful shots from the evening (well maybe minus the really cute Dachshund that attended)…

Last week I wrote about my saying (“My Hero”) that I had submitted to the Blanket ID “Significant Others” Tag Contest, and I asked you (my fans) to help my tag win by voting so that I could choose a lucky animal rescue to donate money from the sale of my tags to.

Well thanks to all of you I placed second! Which means in a few short weeks my tag will be available for purchase from Blanket ID!

As exciting as this is, I’m even more excited to announce that the rescue I have chosen to receive $3 from every sale of my tag is the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue!

Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) is a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast.

My Crazy Rebels Custom Pet Painting

Posted on by

Right before Christmas my mom entered a giveaway on the Pawsh blog for a spiffy pet painting made by the fine folks at Crazy Rebels. And as luck would have it, she won! The even better part was that the painting was going to be of me!

So I helped mom look through lots of my photos, and we picked out this silly photo from a few years ago of me in my super hero cape. I thought it would look fun turned into a cartoon style painting.

The I headed over to Design Seeds and picked out the blue background color seen in the photo below.

And a few weeks later this fun painting arrived at my doorstep.

2012 Petties Award Show

Posted on by

You might remember that this year I had the honor of being chosen as a finalist in the 2012 Petties Awards for the best designed blog.

2012 Petties Awards // Ammo the Dachshund

I was surprised and excited to be chosen as one of the top four finalist, and was on the edge of my seat to watch the award show which was broadcast on the Dogtime Blog on Friday.

Sadly I did not win, but in the Petties everyone is a winner, because the winners in each category get to choose an animal rescue or charity to donate their $1,000 prize to. Isn’t that fantastic!

petties-2012-finalist-design-badgeSo I send my congratulations out to all of the winners this year, and hopefully next year I’ll get a chance to be in the running for a Petties Award again!
