Great for Summer Travel or a Home Toy Box

You are going to absolutely love this tote I received from Home Goods. As big as it is, it collapses nicely for storage. You'll be able to get everything inside for a long vacation--food, smaller beds, and all Fido's accessories. 

When you're home, it's the perfect toy box for your larger Fido, and moves easily because of its light weight. Even your smaller pup can use it as a toy box when partially collapsed. This is one tote that you'll use all the time, making good use of its flexibility.

You'll find lots of great bargains on cool accessories like this in your nearby Home Goods store. Our store is stocked full of great stuff for most every size and shape of dog or cat. Check it out at your hometown Home Goods or online at Home Goods, on Facebook or Twitter.

Made of heavy duty canvas and denim, this tote is likely to blend in with any decor. Best of all, I'll ship it right to your front door! Enter through July 4th, and watch for a winner announcement on the evening of Friday, July 5th. Best of luck to you all!

All Things Dog Blog has done a series of reviews and giveaways for Home Goods to aid in getting the word out about their pet department. We were not compensated to share our opinion about these products, but did receive a few items to keep for our troubles. All opinions we included are completely our own. <!--more--a Rafflecopter giveaway >

HomeGoods Swimmers Giveaway

Ready for a Swim?

Haven't won any dog giveaways yet? Don't you worry, there's still plenty to come. Now I have even more awesome HomeGoods dog products to give away! Do your dog's like to swim?!? Well there's never a better time to get your dog interested in swimming than when they have a brand new HomeGoods dog wet suit, towel, and shampoo. Tanner absolutely loves his doggie wetsuit, and is always excited to hop in the pool. In fact, it's always a challenge to his training to get him back out once he's in. He loves it when I swim with him too. It's great bonding and exercise for me and him.

Now that the water is cooling down, this wetsuit is the perfect transition for allowing Tanner to continue to swim, even on chilly days. He, of course, never thinks it is too cold to swim. I have a different set of rules, though. It's the mom in me, I suppose. As you can see, the wetsuit is a snug fit, as it should be to retain body heat around the most important organs. Tanner is 70 lbs. so this should give you an idea of fit for your dog. I do not have other sizes, so please enter this giveaway only if you have an appropriate use for this wetsuit. Let's make sure it finds a good home where it will protect its new owner from hypothermia.

Oliver on the other hand is another story entirely. He would be much happier sitting on the pool deck. Well, not so much sitting as keeping a safe distance, standing, and barking at me while Tanner and I splash around in the pool. He tends to get very concerned and barks loudly as if to say, "Get out Mom, you'll drown!" But, don't fret, he always manages to calm down, and assist me with rinsing and drying off Tanner.

Eager Organix Dog Food Fans Flood my Blog to Win

Tanner Does Dishes for Oliver

There's not much that takes priority over mealtime for the pups in our home.  Serving healthy food is a big deal, and with the flood of information from commercials trying to sell all manner of pet food that is deemed "healthy and tasty", it's easy for even the most experienced dog owner to have trouble figuring out what's best for Fido.

A recent article published by Castor and Pollux on their blog points out some of the differences among major national brands. You may find some interesting tips there, as well as some of the articles written here on my own food choices and the reasons for them.

Before we name the winners of this week's Organix food giveaway, I'd love to thank all of you who participated in my Scavenger Hunt. This was a first for me. Did you enjoy it? Let me know if you think this is an interesting approach to helping you find information on my blog. I'm always looking for creative new ideas. 

Sixty of you entered to win a 5.25 lb. bag of food. That will feed your toy-sized dog for a good while, although not so much for your larger pup. I know Tanner could down it in the blink of an eye. Nevertheless, it's a good enough opportunity to see how your Fido fares on a high quality diet. I hope you'll continue to watch for additional giveaways, and may consider making a permanent switch. Your vet bills will likely show the difference in foods.

This week's six winners who will receive a coupon for a free 5.25 lb. bag of the Organix pet food of their choice are John Pruiett, Anna Galanos, Katie Mitchell, Cynthia Downer, Theresa Waid, and Frank. You'll each be receiving an email in the next 24 hours from AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. Please respond promptly with your mailing address and your coupon will go out as quickly as possible. Congratulations and good luck with your transition. You can check Castor and Pollux' site for help with this here. It is important to do this properly to make sure Fido doesn't has digestive issues when changing diets.

While you're here, be sure to stop by Fido's Freebie Friday to see what's new in giveaways for this week. Happy tails!
