Oliver is Off Duty Now With Prize Awarded

Since I returned home from the recent social media conference, the entries have been flying to win this bag full of goodies from Barkworld. This bag of sponsor items includes 2 tote bags, pet food samples, a pet food scoop and bag clip, a flying disc for dog park fun, a children's storybook by best-selling author Dean Koontz, and 2 bags of top name dog treats that are US-made. 

I've relieved Oliver of his job and I'm ready to ship. The winner has been announced on the widget at the original giveaway post here. All I need is to hear back from our winner, All Things Collie.  I'll email this winner via AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. Please watch your inbox and your spam file for my message. Congratulations!

Happy tails,

The items in this surprise bag come from various pet industry companies. All were acquired as a conference thank you gift and will be sent to the winner of this giveaway.

Pet Tote Winner Announced

Say Bye-Bye, Tanner!

Sorry Tanner. The tote is leaving, Boy. We've removed the last of the samples and such that found their way into this tote, and wow, had we forgotten how much stuff would fit inside. I think Tanner could be carried inside this bad boy if he were willing and I were stronger. Don't worry; that's not happening.

No matter what you intend to do this Summer, this tote will be your go to carryall. You can put your Beagle in this if he's game. And what's more, the handles are ultra strong so that two people can carry a heavy load and get it all the way to the beach, vacation condo, hotel room or just into Grandma's house. 

No matter where you're headed, this is the ticket to carrying all Fido's stuff. If you've got a Maltese, oh well. Maybe he'll agree to let you put your beach towels, buckets, shovels and masks inside. You're bound to find it useful.

It's time to say farewell to the Bo Obama tote now, thanks to HomeGoods. Our winner is Janel M. Congratulations Janel and watch for your email from AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. I'll await your address info and we'll get it to you ASAP. Happy tails,

This tote was part of a HomeGoods promo run by All Things Dog Blog. We were not compensated for the work or told what to say. We did; however, receive a few products to keep.

Natural Balance Gift Basket Winner

Rear View of Basket

Today is finally the day. Our Natural Balance Gift Basket giveaway has been quite a big hit. Can you believe over 7000 entries?!!! Thanks for all your efforts and enthusiasm. 

I do understand as Tanner and Oliver would be chomping at the bit as well. They got a consolation prize in the mail and have been thoroughly enjoying its contents. The scent of the Tillman Treats had my memories heading back to agility class where Natural Balance was the most popular treat of all. Its aroma would keep a dog's nose engaged while the handler helped the pooch learn a new skill or negotiate a tricky obstacle like the A-frame or the teeter. There's nothing like a strong scent to distract a dog from fear.

On the heels of this giveaway is a new adventure. Lovable pudgy pups and fat cats can enter a photo contest to win massive prizes--8 winners in all. I'm still in shock at the gargantuan gifts being offered for this photo contest. Check it out at the link and start hunting up your tubby pet's pics. It's definitely a worthwhile effort.

Today's winner is a very lucky lady. Her name is Sarah Beth T. She got into the entries partly by adding a photo of the winner's basket to her Pinterest page, which I was happy to see. You can bet the folks at Natural Balance are pleased as well.

Who's next? I'll be curious to see which fat cats and pudgy pups score the huge prizes in the photo contest. These entries are being made on the Natural Balance Facebook page at this link. You'll have to "Like" the page, so why not click on the banner at the top of this column of All Things Dog Blog, Like the page, and get free coupons for your purchases. This is almost like being paid to enter a contest, so why not!

Meanwhile, I'm sharing some of Natural Balance's great tips, strategies and get fit ideas for your overweight dogs. You'll find some of this info at my posts. Happy reading.

As an NB Insider, All Things Dog Blog has offered this giveaway to promote Natural Balance's product variety. The prize is being fulfilled by Natural Balance. In exchange for offering this giveaway and other Natural Balance news on my site I am receiving paid travel to industry events and free pet food for my furry family. We have chosen the organic formula for Tanner and Oliver.
