Welcome pet freebie shoppers:


You've found the right place! Fido's Freebie Friday is a collection of pet product giveaways and pet lover giveaways of all sorts. Some are part of contests that you can join in for fun, others are prizes for events you can participate in, and some are simply sweepstakes where you enter and there is a drawing.


Each photo and short description in the list below is a link which will take you to the post on the site that is offering the giveaway. We invite you to peruse the list and choose those items that you would like to check out. Click to visit and have fun exploring the possibilities.


One final note: Bloggers with giveaways are able to link up to this list through midnight on Friday. If you're enjoying this pet shopping mall of freebies, you may want to stop back again late on Friday or over the weekend to see what additional fun prizes have been added. The links will remain active, so you can continue to visit the sites as often as you like. Have fun looking for things for your pets.

    This Prize Does NOT Include the Papillon!
    Kids are back to school and hopefully thinking about reading again. The Catch 22 about that is that they had much more time for reading during the summer. Funny how that works. All Things Dog Blog is a huge supporter of reading, as my roots are in print publishing and writing. You probably guessed it; we're giving away another package of dog stories, this time for ages 7-11. These 5 books are chapter books for young readers, and all revolve around a dog theme. They will be given away below to one reader--a package deal!


    Whether you're a teacher, mom, grandparent, or babysitter, these books may be the perfect afternoon read to share with your special youngster. The best part is that you can win them here free. I'll offer numerous ways to enter in the Rafflecopter widget below. Once you've completed the mandatory entry, it's up to you to decide if you'd like to continue on with additional entries to increase your chances. Enter once, or enter daily; it's up to you. 


    One note about using Rafflecopter. If you don't see the widget below, click the title of the post to refresh and it will appear at the end of the post. Because Rafflecopter is a new, emerging technology, the developers are continuing to tweak and improve it. If you find any oddities or have trouble using it, I encourage you to let me know at AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. The Rafflecopter folks have been very responsive to my comments, shared from readers' experiences. They appreciate your input.


    Now, let's get on with giving away some great dog stories:









    P.S. Did you meet the new friends I made in Thailand? They're furry, big and little, and totally amazing. Check it out here.
