With the #BarkFriday #FueltheLove Twitter Party looming, readers are asking what, specifically, are the prizes. Today I'm here to answer that question. Each of our Twitter Party winners will receive a fabulous prize package from Zuke's that will include 15 bags from 4 of the Zuke's treat lines:

• All 6 Mini Naturals flavors: Peanut Butter, Salmon, Rabbit, Duck, Chicken and Pork flavors. These tiny, low-calorie treats are soft and perfect for training.
• Each of the Z-Filet flavors: Grilled Venison, Chicken and Beef....Mmmmm! Substitute these for those yucky, made in China jerky treats that make us nervous.
• The 3 Hip Action flavors: Peanut Butter and Roasted Chicken and Beef. With 300 mg of Glucosamine and 50 mg of Chondroitin, your pup's joints will be singing till he's a good old dog!
• And finally, the 3 newest members of Zuke's line, the Skinny Bakes Crunchy treats in Pumpkin 'N Sweet Potato, Cherry 'N Berry and Peanut Butter 'N Banana. If your dog enjoys a crunchy treat, this is your choice. These goodies are also scored for easy breaking to treat your toy-sized dogs. Low-calorie and unique flavors make these a fun choice for snacking variety.

If you read the list above outloud, your dogs are probably salivating, and for good reason. All of these treats are made in the USA, assuring you excellent quality control over the production and safety of these yummies you'll use for snacking and training with your best friend. It's important that you pay attention for that little detail.

You can learn more about the Zuke's products and their healthy ingredients at the post linked above. To make sure you're eligible to win and have not missed any opportunities, don't forget to visit these spots of entry:

• RSVP for one prize package drawing
• PreTweet these one-click messages to be included in the PreTweet drawing
• Enter the Social Media giveaway at the widget here for multiple options of entry, and up your chances of winning.

• Finally, don't forget to mark your calendar and join us for the Twitter Party after your early morning Black Friday shopping spree. Grab your laptop and your pup to snuggle up for the fun: Friday, November 29, 12 PM ET.

Important Note to Party Participants: This Twitter Party will use two hashtags. Please use #BarkFriday #FueltheLove to follow all the fun!

Win Pet 1st Aid Preparedness Prizes

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Dr. Emmo's #Pet1stAid products like to think of their products as "Proactive first aid for Passionate Pet Owners". Sounds like a great tagline for a company name, right? We think so! Their passion is so evident that they have asked us to promote a FREE travel sample of their 2 key first aid products to remind everyone that September is National Preparedness Month. 

We all need to be ready for whatever natural disaster may strike. Our #Pet1stAid Twitter Party will focus on tips for exactly that--pet first aid--as well as creating an evacuation kit for your pets and other important considerations. After you join us, we're sure you'll be ready to care for Fido's boo-boos as well as preparing for whatever surprise Mother Nature may throw at you. And what's more, you'll have the chance to win some fab prizes, including a Grand Prize that has a $100 "Disaster Fund" Gift Card, along with all the goodies you see above. In case you're wondering, that collage above shows off the Rafflecopter prizes; nice swag, right?!!!

Today we're unveiling this third part of our usual pre-party giveaways for each Twitter Party. Perhaps the Rafflecopter is the most popular because it allows you to be in the driver's seat. At the bottom of this post you'll find a Rafflecopter entry form. If it's injured and hiding, you can offer first aid by clicking on the post title above to offer CPR. It will cough and open up for you to have some Rafflecopter fun, selecting those entries that you wish to participate in.

Entries in the Rafflecopter will remain open through the party on September 10; however, the winner will be drawn and announced at the Twitter Party that opens at 8 PM ET. You need not be in attendance to win either this giveaway or the PreTweet prize, so feel free to join in for this one even if you cannot come to our event.

The Rafflecopter prize includes everything you see above, plus a special card of pet first aid tips from @ArdenKnowsPets and @EventBarkers--about a $100 total value. After the additional tips and evacuation help that we'll be dishing at the party, you're sure to be well on your way to having a healthy, happy National Preparedness Month, at least for your pets. We hope you'll do as much to prepare for yourself as well. Your pets need you!

Pssst! Don't forget to RSVP to get in on that prize package also!

What's in Your Pet's Medicine Cabinet?

National Preparedness Month kicks off in September, reminding us all that disaster can strike at any moment. Whether you live in harm's way of earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, fire, or snow and ice storms, being ready to evacuate or treat wounds at home is important to you and your pets' preparedness. The #Pet1stAid Twitter Party announced yesterday will be sharing first aid and preparedness tips for your pets.

Today we'd like to give you all a chance to get in on our PreTweet prize, a drawing which will be made from all Tweets with the #Pet1stAid hashtag that go out between now and the party opening on September 10. The winner of this prize will get a Dr. Emmo's package of first aid solutions, along with a soothing Scents of Security toy, a Gamma2 Travel-tainer pet food container complete with bowls, a reusable elastic bandage from Healer's Pet Care, and a simple guide to the most commonly-needed first aid tips we'll share during the Twitter Party on September 10. More detail on all the great prizes will be coming soon.

Mutt Monday Follows Mother's Day

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

Mother's Day was certainly a whirlwind at my house--flower deliveries, cookies, brownies, lunch out and a cookout with my family--by my family. That's deliciously luxurious! Tanner and I took care of his pool and Oliver spent a good bit of the day napping near me while I feverishly prepared for an upcoming trip. So much for a day off!


The RSVP post for #EBTweets Twitter Party is open for business and has this blog hopping, to be sure. Tomorrow you'll find more excitement when the Rafflecopter giveaway is launched. I'd love to hear from you: If you win a prize, who will get it? Your pet, a family or friend's pet, or a Rescue? It's your choice.


Enjoy your tour of my last week's posts, and be sure to let other bloggers know how you found them if you visit their posts listed here. Happy tails!

Dog Toys Grab Bag
 for One Lucky PreTweeter

I have to admit that watching the PreTweets for our Twitter Parties has become a guilty pleasure for me. It's fun to sign into TweetReach and see who's Tweeting and how much. Plus, one of you gets to win a cool prize just for sharing our news. What's the prize? Toys, of course! 


But there's more good news for this great party. We're not just focusing on Fidos; we also have prizes for Fluffy. So whether you're a dog or a cat person, your best friend can be a winner just by telling us whether you prefer a dog or cat prize. It's that easy! (NOTE: Kitty peeps can check in at Cattipper for more info on the feline side of things!)


Our winner may choose a kitty or dog prize based on the pets at home, or those you wish to donate to. All prizes for #EBTweets  can be shipped direct to a U.S. rescue if an address is provided. Each grab bag is worth at least $70, and the Grand Prizes will be much more generous. Watch for more on these by following posts at Dogtipper.com and AllThingsDogBlog.com.


So, what should you Tweet? Here's a few options below. Choose one you like or Tweet them all. There's no limit to Tweeting. We'll have access to your Tweets online, so you don't need to register them here in comments, just enjoy the chirping for what it is--fun!
