Barking the Joys of Barking Deals:
Site Review and Giveaway

Have you seen the image at left in your email, on Facebook or the Internet? Barking Deals sprinted onto the scene a few short months ago, sweeping many of us off our feet. What a great concept! Until I spoke with the Steve Watters today, I thought it was all about the discounts. Little did I know that Barking Deals has bigger aspirations. The longer-term goal is to make it much more about helping small businesses and rescues. Steve got my attention with that! I'll be watching for more on this plan that is in development, but today I was pleased to see that a deal was available to benefit a nearby Humane Society through the Barking Deals Shelter Program

Meet Your New Friend
from Barking Deals
I can't remember exactly how I became acquainted with this company, but once I subscribed to their email Deal Alerts I was excited to see the amazing cost benefit of watching those deals as they arrived in my inbox. Yep! I'm hooked. Tanner and Oliver have enjoyed the benefits as well. While I am out-of-pocket considerably less when I partake of their deals, I also get to see new products, fun toys and healthy pet food supplements, to name a few of the deals. And did I mention that standard shipping is always FREE? Who wouldn't like that for a great deal?

This Barking Deal is Squeaky
As a writer, I have to also admit that I'm in awe of their copywriter. It may sound silly, but I find myself enjoying, even laughing outloud, at their writeups in the deal emails. Try it; you'll see what I mean. You can sign up for yours at their site at Barking Deals and let the savings begin.


Tanner has been busy showing off with his new Kong Beaver that he got from Barking Deals. This is one of the newer stuffing-free toys, and it arrived complete with 4 extra squeakers, just in case he is not already making enough noise with one squeaker inside.

Tired, at Last
My goal here is to introduce you to Barking Deals and their great, money-saving offers. We're not talking about saving 15 or 20%. Often the savings run 40-90%! Don't trust me on that; I got it right off their webpage here


You can keep up with their daily deals through their Facebook page, as well, a great way to monitor what's going on at your favorite sites around the Internet. Stop by and "Like" them today so you'll be sure to see their great bargains when you sign on.


The best way to get you to immerse yourself in Barking Deals is to participate in our giveaway, so strap on your seatbelt. This one will be a bit different than usual.  Five savvy shoppers will get to experience the Barking Deal difference when they win a free offer, aka--one chance to test drive Barking Deals at no cost. Here's how to enter to win our 5 free Barking Deals offers:


Two Actions Required to Enter:

    • COMMENTS--Tell us why you'd like to test drive Barking Deals.
    • Register for the Barking Deals email Alerts subscription on the right side of their site. You'll be instantly amazed when your first email alert confirms the super savings for your dog. Just enter your email and zip code! (Alternate option: If you're not a fan of email offers, leave me a comment telling me what today's deal is at their website, and we'll call it an entry. The website features a new deal nearly every day so check in often to see what's new. Keep in mind, you can only order today's deal until it runs out or the day ends.)
  • Extra Entries Increase Your Chances:
  • Sample Deal from BarkingDeals.com
    • Be sure to follow up any Tweets, etc. with a blog comment to register your entries. By Facebook rules, postings there may not constitute an entry, so you must leave a comment here.
    • Post a photo of your pup to my Facebook page with a sign that says "We Love Barking Deals and All Things Dog Blog".  Your 3 follow up comments will register this action as 3 entries.
    • Post your photo to the Barking Deals' Facebook Page and it may be featured on our blog if you email it to me at AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com
    • Likewise, follow  @AllThingsDog and @BarkingDeals on Twitter.

Hey Carrie! Today's deal is: "Save 56% on KONG® Classic Large and two cans of KONG® Stuff'N Easy Treat: Peanut Butter 8oz." :)



Lauren said...

Claire and I would like to test-drive Barking Deals because it's often difficult to buy toys for her - they tend to not last long because she can literally tear through even the toughest materials! She does have a few that she absolutely adores and she does not tear through those, but it gets expensive buying toy after toy to see if it will win her approval haha!
