Pet Trivia Contest Winners

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

The envelope please. We'll dispense with the speeches, the gowns, the jokes and reminiscences. Let's get to the meat of this game--the winners!


Little did I know what my readers could belt out when I started this trivia contest. Who knew? There are a number of you who blew me away with mountains of details about pets in the movies. What fun!

Walk the Red Carpet on Sunday

Let me review the prizes first. Our judges' first pick will get a Replendish by Petmate, perfect for large dogs or large pet families.


There will be 3 second place awards. Each will win a package of Terra Paws Sweet Potato Treats.


Three 3rd place winners winners will each receive a poop bag holder that clips to their leash or belt loop. 

Tanner Took Good Care

Before I open any envelopes, I just want to give a hearty thank you to the eveready bunnies of the pet trivia world: cdmtx and cstironkat. These two contestants were certainly in it to win!

Now let's get down to business, starting with the 3rd Place winners Amy O, Tiny the Puggle and Island Snoopy. Along with the rest of the winners, you'll receive either an email or a DM via Twitter notifying you of the email to send your address to: AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com.

Oliver Hoped to Dig In :(

Moving on to 2nd Place I have to mention special thanks from the judges to Danielle for digging up a great little gem about Baretta's Cockatoo. The bit on the Harry Potter cats was also great fun, provided by cdmtx. The winners in this category are Danielle, cdmtx, and nzrd.  Feel free to send your addresses on in. These Terra Paws are getting a lot of interest from my two fidos.

Gets a New Home

First Place goes to cstironkat for an entertaining piece of trivia about the exact number of spots on Pongo and Perdita in the original 101 Dalmatians movie. Can you guess? If not, you'll have to visit the comments section at this link to read up on some of the fun trivia. It's definitely worth a visit--entertaining reading!

If you're really into movie trivia and the Oscars, you may want to check out Dogtipper's Twitter Party on Wednesday, Feb 22. She's giving away a bundle of great cat swag, so if you're a kitty lover, this is definitely the place to be. Sadly, I won't be there, but you can go and have fun!

Alpha Dogs and the Academy Awards

Ready to Walk the Red Carpet

The Academy Awards are coming soon and I hear chatter about it everywhere I go. Admittedly, I'm not privy to much starlet intel, but I know one thing. Whenever I need to learn something, if I ask enough people, I'll get some answers.  So now it's your turn to hand over the info. In exchange for Academy Award trivia about pets, I'll hand out some great prizes. 


Let's lay down the rules, lay out the prizes and then we'll get going. You guys will have through Monday, February 20 to offer up the best tidbits of Academy Awards pet trivia in a comment. Enter as often as you like, but keep these rules in mind:

• Each comment MUST BE pet-related trivia regarding the Academy Awards and/or the movies/movie industry. My judge's decisions are final on this contest, so keep to that simple rule so you're not wasting your time.
• Each and every entry must include your contact information via Twitter, email or blog url. No contact information= No prize. :(

You can help me make this contest even more fun by tweeting the contest. However, you cannot win unless you have posted at least one comment with Academy Award pet trivia here at the blog. Here's a sample tweet:

What can you win?

Replendish will Serve the Whole Fido Family

First Place: For the multi-pet family, a jumbo Replendish, 2.5 gallon water container and bowl by Petmate that filters water for healthier hydration. This waterer is ideal for households with multiple pets and larger dogs, as well as outdoor water storage to assure ample volume for thirsty, active fidos. If used outdoors, I advise the Replendish be placed in a shady area off the ground to keep ants at bay.

I Think I Can; I Think I Can...

Second Place: Three winners will each receive a bag of Terra Paws freeze dried sweet potato treats. These treats have been a hot item in our Twitter Parties and this is the last of the stock. Don't miss out because there won't be any more anytime soon.


Terra Paws are so good that Oliver had to show off his yoga dog concentration and focus in this photo. He's got Terra Paws on his paw and had to wait permission to snack. Good boy, Oliver!

Third Place:  Three winners will get an attachable leash dispenser for their poop bags, something that every dog owner needs. Your prize will come with 1 roll of bags included. If you share your pup's breed/mix and weight, I may get generous and include an All Things Dog Blog bandana in your package.


Winners will be announced Tuesday, February 21. Let your pursuit of trivia and treasures begin!

PS. For those of you who are really into the Academy Awards, I hear that The Tiniest Tiger will be in one of the secret rooms at the Academy Awards, tweeting and giving away a special hipster bag from his site. You can learn more by visiting here.


No purchase is required to enter this contest. It is open only to U.S. residents. Prizes have been provide for review, as conference swag and as a promotional courtesy. I have not been compensated to give these items away.
