Holiday Toys from Petco

Thanks so much to Petco and Natural Balance for bailing me out on these two giveaways. With all 3 dogs injured and nursing stitches, shaved coats or cones, we're a shabby looking bunch right now for photo modeling. Fortunately I had snapped this shot of Tanner prior to his forehead injury. What a month it has been for the All Things Dog Blog dogs!
We're excited to announce the winners of these 2 groups of prizes today. Petco will be shipping each of our winners an assortment of holiday prizes, some of which may look like what you see in the photo with Tanner. The winners will be able to select their own category: Christmas or Hanukkah.
Natural Balance will ship each of our winners a bag of their newest semi-moist, grain-free dog treats:  Belly Bites! All of these prizes will make for terrific holiday fun with your dog. Now let's get to those winners.

Happy holidays, 

These 2 giveaways have been provided by the sponsors--Petco and Natural Balance--to promote their products. I was not compensated to share the Petco giveaway or my opinions and enthusiasm for their fun toy selection. I am, however, compensated with industry travel and pet food in exchange for sharing occasional news and giveaways for Natural Balance.

Natural Balance's New Belly Bites

Belly Bites in 3 Great Flavors

I have to be honest. My dogs are not happy campers right now. While Tanner is finally healing from the hole in his head that he sustained while running through the recently-trimmed bushes, he still has a large circle shaved across his forehead--not exactly a pretty photo opp. You get to see the Belly Bites without a dog today :(

Hi Five, Tanner!

Where's Oliver, you're wondering? Well, Oliver had a little mishap at the beach. It took up a week to figure out what was wrong and he quickly ended up in emergency surgery. He's home now and unfortunately will not get the joy of tasting these Belly Bites because he's on a totally soft diet. Tanner, however, gave his impression with a big high five and is hoping to get more opportunities to taste test soon.
Let's get on with this intro to the newest member of the Natural Balance treat team--Belly Bites. They sound delicious, even before you read the information on the website or news release. These semi-moist treats come in 3 flavors that are all paired up with legumes, offering adequate protein and fiber paired with grain-free goodness. Legumes are the dried beans like Garbanzo beans and Peas that are high in protein and fiber. 

Belly Bites come in Duck and Legume Formula, Chicken and Legume Formula and Salmon and Legume Formula.  With 14% crude protein from the primary ingredients and the legumes, these treats sound like they're ready to power your dog through a day at the races. We also love that they are made with natural flavoring and natural preservatives, as well as skim milk--all healthy ingredients that we love to get behind.
And guess what? For a limited time, you can grab a $1 off coupon at each of the links above, just click here for one. That's right! Save $3 when you buy 3 bags of these nutritious, delicious snacks. That opinion, of course, came from Tanner. He got to taste test the Chicken formula and is really looking forward to trying the Duck version. After all, he is a Golden Retriever; his DNA speaks duck!
These moderate-sized treats are easily broken to adapt to the size of the dog and the frequency of treating. We recommend you watch Fido's waistline by treating moderately. Watch for a giveaway coming soon. 
Meanwhile, I want to share with you some info on the photo contest going on over at the Natural Balance Facebook page. Through Monday, November 25 Facebook fans can submit the funniest photo of their dog begging for a treat. Don't forget to include your best caption for Fido's image which you visit the Get in My Belly! Photo Contest.

Winners? You bet! The top 20 vote-getters will score a basket full of Belly Bites, enough to share with their playmates at the dog park. Isn't it wonderful that they'll have energy enough to run and play and socialize! That's what healthy snacks are for--fueling the adventure. Enjoy!
