Pamper Your Dog With These Prizes!

Now that the election is over, you can finally stop holding your breath! Perhaps the things of daily life will now take more of a normal turn. I'm sure that pets are feeling the relief, too, as their owners can, once again, get back to pampering them without distraction!

If you have a dog, today's sweeps will help you give your loyal friend some of that long-awaited time and attention. These prizes are geared toward him, but will be a fabulous win for some lucky dogs' masters, too!

First, there is a year's worth of some premium dog food. A full belly, and a fatter wallet for dog-mom or pup-dad with all that money saved, will certainly make the winning dogs feel special.

Next, there is equipment that will help Fido to enjoy all of those adventures that his master enjoys! There's a trailer to tow behind a bike, so he can ride in style. Yet, there is still more, to make even jogging or skating a joy for you both. No more leaving him at home!

Next, there is a pet-friendly getaway to South Beach. No bones about it, that sounds like an awful lot of fun!


Paula Deen Premium Select Dog Food Giveaway

For this sweeps, you must upload a photo of your dog to enter. The rules state that winners "will be selected by an Independent panel from among all eligible entries." It does not, however, specify that entries will be judged. So, it is unclear to me whether this is an actual giveaway (in which case winners would generally be determined by a random drawing), or if it is actually a contest where pictures are judged.

The rules also do NOT state that the picture you enter with must be different for each entry. Most contests will specify this.

* Grand prize is a year’s supply of Paula Deen Premium Select dog food and an autographed poster of the December calendar. The winning dog will also be featured on the Calendar. No ARV stated.

* 4 Runner-up prizes, each three bags of Paula Deen Premium Select dog food 4.5 pound bag, and an autographed poster of the December calendar. No ARV stated.

One photo entry per person/email address per day. Open to legal residents of the 48 contiguous United States who have reached the legal age of majority. Ends sometime in mid-November, rules say it will be announced on the sweeps page. The sweeps page says that entrants have two weeks to upload pics, so my guess is that it ends November 14. Of course, this is not a certainty.



Oregon Dog Lover Contest

* Grand prize includes the following:

Burley Tail Wagon Bike Trailer
Ruffwear Omnijore Joring System

Win Gifts for Your Dog!

The other day, I caught one of our yellow labs snooping around, nosing through the gifts under the tree. When he was done, he threw me a disgusted look, turned his back on me, and walked away to pout.

Dang. He caught me. I haven't picked up any dog gifts yet. Yes, the doggie guilt trip worked. So today's sweepstakes are for anyone who knows the feeling...

A Contest/Sweepstakes for Dog Lovers!

Today we have a combo that is both a contest and sweepstakes in one. For starters, once you enter the contest, you are automatically entered into the sweepstakes. The last day to be entered into both is December 23, 2014. After this date, you will only be entered into the contest.

To enter, you are asked for your idea of your dog's dream dog house. Then, you will need to depict it in some way. The nice thing about this contest is that you are offered multiple means to do so. You may upload a photo, draw a sketch, or simply describe it in your own words.

The sweepstakes has multiple entry periods, each with its own prize. The current entry period (Entry period #1) ends on December 12, 2014. Then, each day after that is another entry period, through December 23. Non-winning entries will roll over into subsequent entry periods.

Contest entries will be judged based upon the following criteria:

Creative content of Submission (40%; score out of 40 points);
Relevance to the theme of the Promotion (40%; score out of 40 points);
Functionality & “dog appeal” (20%; score out of 20 points).

* Contest grand prize is a dream dog house, awarded in the form of a check for $10,000.

* The sweepstakes prize for entry period #1 is one holiday sweater for pet. ARV $70.

See rules for further sweepstakes prizes, and for further details on submission requirements.

12 Days of Giveaways

Limit of 5 entries into the contest/sweepstakes per person/email address. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C., 18 or older and with a valid email address. Contest ends January 28, 2015.


Winning News

On Friday I received an email to let me know that I am a weekly winner in the "Aveda Invati Sweepstakes." My prize is an Aveda Invati Exfoliating Shampoo, Thickening Conditioner, and Scalp Revitalizer sample set.

This made me happy, as I have been searching for some new hair products to care for my aging hair. Not that I'm getting old, mind you. I don't have Jennifer Aniston beat by much, thank you... Anyways, I'm happy for the chance to try these!

I was also informed, that as a weekly winner, I am now in the drawing to win one of twenty full-sized sets (valued at $116), that they have yet to be giving away. Fingers crossed! Thank you, Aveda!

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!

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.
