Petco Halloween Winners

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Today is the day!  Seven lucky Halloween winners have been drawn to score costumes, sweaters and toys from Petco. What a great batch of Halloween swag!  

Thanks so much to those of you who jumped right in and played our Scavenger Hunt. I was excited to see so many get the answers. Yay! I suppose it will have to get a little tougher next time; you guys are pretty good!

Up for grabs are a Taco costume--seen in the largest image above--a sweater and a hoodie, 2 cat costumes, and 2 Halloween toys for our larger Fido entrants. Each of the dog 'wearables' will also be accompanied by a Halloween toy. Sounds great, right? Let's get to it:

The orange sweater at the top right of the holiday collage will go to Evie. This cool sweater has a neato light on the eyes of the bat that's super easy to turn on and off, and is out of reach of Fido. Do wear with supervision, however. Better safe than sorry.

The brown hoodie at the lower left will go to Mallory H. and the Taco costume will be enjoyed by Julie C.'s Cockapoo. Our cat costumes (Did you guess Cleopatra and Sushi?) will go--one to each--to Danielle M. for her cat, Reese's, and Shane R. Finally, two of our large dog entrants will each receive a toy for holiday play:  Angela C. and Danielle P. 

Thanks again for entering and being thorough in sharing your pet's information. Without that, I was unable to give away these size-specific prizes. I really do appreciate your support, and am glad you all had fun joining in. Please do share a photo of your pet in costume when it arrives. These will be shared on our social media sites and entered in our quarterly winners circle drawings. Watch for our third quarter announcements coming up soon.

 Be sure to check out Petco's website, FacebookTwitter, and Pinterest for more costumes and fun accessories. They have a ton of great Halloween stuff!

Happy Halloween to you all,

A Mutt Monday Report: SafeHowloween
for Dogs Lead by Twitter Barkers

by Carrie Boyko, CEB
Twitter Barkers at Barkworld Expo
Two bloggers with a similar goal--happy dogs and happy families. Fast friends from our first meeting in 2010, Paris Permenter of Dogtipper and I finally held our first joint event. Actually, events, as in plural.


Our Halloween Fido Photo Contest was a great success with nearly a hundred photos submitted. Find out who won and see all the amazing pictures at the link above.


Our #SafeHowlOween Twitter Party came off with quite a bang. Nervous as we were that no one would show up, a huge group descended on Twitter and swept us away for 90 minutes of fast and furious tweeting. 

Much to our surprise, we started and ended on time and gave away all of our amazing prizes without a hitch. Our wonderful sponsors, Dr. Nunez's Veterinary Pharmacy and Terra Paws dog treats, were on hand to help out, answer questions and offer great discounts to participants. Terra Paws really pulled out all the stops when offering 50% off to all party attendees through the remainder of the evening. Wow!


Discounts provided by our sponsors continue as follows:

  • Dr. Mark Nunez Veterinary Pharmacy, 15% discount through October, 2012. Use code "fans".
  • Terra Paws is offering 30% discount through October 31 with the discount code "OCT30".

Dr. Mark, All Things Dog Blog's Ask the Vet Columnist, answered dog safety questions with moderation assistance by Carol Bryant of Fidose of Reality. The two of them were inundated with dog lovers needing all manner of detailed information on how to keep their dogs safe on Halloween. They did a fabulous job of handling the popularity of this topic, when questions starting flying almost before the party officially opened. Carol and Mark make a great team!


Meanwhile, as Paris and I ate Candy Corn and watched idly, er... worked feverishly to ask basic safety questions, share Halloween photos and prize pictures, we continued our hosting duties, giving away prizes throughout the party and wrapping up with the winners of the photo contest and a grand prize winner for the Twitter Party as well.


Many party attendees left tweets of delight in thanks for a fun night. We're looking forward to doing it again and hope to see you there. Watch for our upcoming announcement of a pre-holiday party to get you all started on your festivities. For now, Twitter Barkers signing out. Happy #SafeHowlOween to you all!


We'll leave this blog hop open an extra day since I'm late getting it up. Sorry for the changeup on timing, but Twitter Barkers need their sleep....and some sanity! Happy tails!
