Prizes to Help Keep You Fit and Trim!

I don't like going out in the cold if I don't have to. I don't care for winter much. I find exercising at home alone to be just plain boring. Plus, there's always the issue of space. Ceiling fans, dogs, and furniture are always in the way! What's more, I can only stand so many times climbing up and down the two main flights of stairs in the house before household chores start nagging me.

So, when it gets to be this time of year, I'm thinking of new and creative ways to get in shape for spring. If you're like me (and even if you're not), then today's sweepstakes are here to save the day!

Here you will find the chance to win a fabulous exercise bike, not once but twice! One even comes with a year of classes. There are also gym memberships, Slimfast products, smoothie makers, cash, and so much more!

Slim and trim, here we come!

Three Contests and Sweepstakes for Dog Owners

Give your dog the chance to be the star that he really is with these first two contests. You know he wants it! Or, if you'd prefer to keep him as the star in your own home, and would like to simply keep him fit and trim, then the third one is for you!


Orvis Cover Dog Photo Contest


This is a photography contest that basically has two parts, so if you feel you might not be "The World's Most Interesting Photographer" (hint, hint), fear not. You'll still have a chance to win something. In the end, it's all for a good cause, so dogs everywhere end up winning!

Though photo entries are being accepted through March 31, 2014, you must enter by February 15, 2014 if you'd like a chance to win one of the following:

*Grand Prize: a one-year supply of Blue Buffalo Dog Food, a deluxe Tempur-Pedic® Dog Bed and a $500 Orvis gift card
*Five Runners-up: Fleecelock Wraparound Beds
*Ten Honorable Mentions: Personalized Collars

These winners will be chosen by a random drawing.

The winning photography entry, chosen after the contest closes, will be featured on a future cover of the Orvis Dog Book catalog, and will receive either a $500.00 or £500 Orvis Gift Card, depending upon winner's country of residence. Check the rules for judging criteria and photo size requirements, etc.

One entry per person or per email address. Open to legal residents of the U.S. and of the UK, who reached the legal age of majority in their locale by the start of the contest (October 31, 2013).




Hero Dog Contest


Is your dog a hero? If so, you can write a 450 word essay for potential publication in Fido Friendly Magazine. A high resolution photo must be included with your entry. Winning entry will also receive a DVD of the movie "Duke."

Open to U.S. and Canadian residents 18 years or older. Void where prohibited by law. Ends January 31, 2014.

Commit to Fit Sweepstakes

100 winners in this sweepstakes will receive a Whistle Activity Monitor (a device that attaches to your dog's collar to monitor his level of activity).

One entry per day, with various opportunities for bonus entries. Bonus entries awarded for performing tasks such as watching a video and answering questions (one bonus entry), sending eCards (up to three bonus entries), and for receiving a quote from Vetrinary Pet Insurance (one bonus entry).
