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‘ 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.

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

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!

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

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!

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.

How to Cure Shop Dog Boredom

How to Cure Shop Dog Boredom // Ammo the Dachshund

Yesterday my buddy Trooper came to hang out with me at the shop. We have a lot of fun together, and he’s always been my very favorite cuddle buddy.

As fun as it is to have a pal at work, sometimes being a shop dog can get downright boring!

But don’t worry, I have the absolute best method for curing shop dog boredom….

Treat dispensing toys! Woohoo!

Now seriously, what’s more fun than a toy that pops out cookies when you play with it? Nothing, the answer is nothing!

Throwback Thursday: Wrestle Buddies

puppy ammo the dachshund and trooper When I was just a wee pup my best friend Trooper used to come to the shop with me everyday to “babysit” me. More often than not the day was spent napping or wrestling with my best friend. We quickly learned that while at work we had to “silent wrestle” aside from the occasional “uncle” shouts – most often coming from Trooper!

Here’s a Throwback Thursday video of one of our “silent” wrestling matches: Does your dog like to wrestle like I do? What do you think of my “climb in your mouth” tactic? 😉 Ammo the Dachshund

Events at the Farm

Events on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Most of you who read my blog on a regular basis (hey guys) already know that I’ve been a farm dog since I was just a wee pup. Growing up on a farm means that you learn pretty quickly that everyone must pitch in and help to keep the farm running. So when we host horse events on the farm I’m the first one to lend a helping paw.

At our farm we host slightly different competitions than most people might be used to seeing. You’ll see no pretty ponies prancing around the arena while their owners buff and shine their boots to perfection – nope, we get a little more extreme with our events at my farm. Our mounted games competitions are filled with thrills and spills, as riders race at top speed through a series of obstacles with their teammates. It’s as exciting for the riders as it is for us spectators.

I spent most of my day on the start line, helping dad to watch the finishes and call placings – one of the most important jobs of the day.

Riders of all ages came out for our event, and their team gear was as fantastic as always (you know I love a good fashion statement).

My best friend Trooper was in charge of watching for rule violations on line A.

But he quickly got relieved of all duties when he couldn’t keep his eyes open!

Even my ponies helped out during the event, as they greeted all our guests with a beaming smile.

Later in the day I took my post on the obstacle course as I watched the riders compete for the jackpot cash prize!

I even had to do a bit of coaching as some of the ponies thought our pool noodle obstacle was something from another planet.

By the end of the day I was utterly exhausted – but that’s how life goes on the farm, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Ammo the Dachshund

Bubble King

I bet you had no idea that I’m a King. Oh yes, there is royalty around these parts.

Because I am the KING OF BUBBLE WRAP!
