All Things Dog Blog

Today's drawing is for the "New Dog Kit", a gift package of goodies that is perfect for a new puppy or toy dog, whichever the owner may have. The winner of the drawing will receive an Eco-Carrier for toy-dogs, made by Outward Hound, specially for the Blogpaws blogger conference held earlier this year. It comes emblazoned with screen-printed logos of many of your favorite pet products companies and pet websites, so Fido will always remember where to go for help. With a removable pad and lightweight construction, this carrier will easily fold up into your tote bag when not in use. If you're interested in one of these economical dog carriers, you can purchase them in a variety of colors by clicking the Amazon ad at the bottom of this post.

Bissell has provided an 8 oz. bottle of enzyme powered pet stain and odor remover, just what you need when house training a puppy.

You can thank the Iams folks for offering 2 rubber rimmed bowls with adorable pawprints--unbreakable and heavy duty for years of wear. Innova has included a sample of their small bite dog food, specially sized for your petite pup and there's also a Greenies dental treat for your little one to try.

Since our winner will be busy learning about dogcare and training, FoundAnimals has graciously given me a copy of their dog care manual, Caring For Your Dog.

While our winner is learning a bit about dog care, she'll also want to have some fun. Outside, she'll have a lanyard for her housekey from Hartz, when she walks little Rover, and a whistle to practice his "Come when Called" command, thanks to World Vets. Finally, our new pup owner will want to get her puppy busy with social networking, an easy task with my friends at Toki Poki. They have provided a starter pack of trading cards and I'll throw in Oliver and Tanner's cards as well. Have you guys visited their site? It's just too cool!

I suppose I should announce the winner now. Congratulations to Betty T. You'll be hearing from me in a few minutes. Be sure to reply with your address so we can get your package out early next week. Be sure to thank Oliver for guarding your goodies; he's exhausted from all that work and ready for a nap over at 5 Minutes for Fido. Congratulations Betty!
