Eager Organix Dog Food Fans Flood my Blog to Win Posted: 09 Sep 2011 01:22 PM PDT by Carrie Boyko, CEB © Carrie Boyko 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!

A Dog's Purpose: Giveaway Winners Named Posted: 09 Sep 2011 01:00 PM PDT by Carrie Boyko, CEB © K.K, reader copyright on file Rory Shares her Love for Today's Giveaway You guys did a great job of showing the print publishing industry that book readers are alive and well! I was pleased to see the enthusiasm for winning an adult book. Great work! Next week I'm going back to kids books, so if your children, grandchildren, nephew and nieces or students love dog stories, you know where to enter to win them. Today's celebration, however, is about adults reading and this is very important. When we read in front of the children in our lives, we set an important example for them, and one that will often make the difference between kids who grow up loving to read and ones who find it a chore.  Let's see what Random.org has to tell us about the winners of this giveaway. With 110 entries, this should be an interesting drawing. Here are the names of the winners: Diana Russell, Cynthia Downer, and Ashley C. You will each receive an email from AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com requesting your address for shipping. Be sure to reply quickly to assure you get your book soon. I know you will all enjoy it as much as I did. Be sure to report back and let us know what you thought. Happy tails! Full disclosure: The publisher provided 3 copies of this book as a promotional giveaway. I read and reviewed the book and gave my honest opinion. No purchase was necessary to enter or win this drawing and I was not compensated to do this review.

K9 Kamp Surprises! Featured Blogger Shares Prize Posted: 09 Sep 2011 10:03 AM PDT by Carrie Boyko, CEB Imagine my surprise when I rose early this morning to walk my dogs before beginning a long day of blogging, only to find my own image on the K9 Kamp post at Peggy's Pet Place. Wow! It was truly a morning of surprises. I continued on by opening my email, and there I discovered a notice that as this week's featured blogger I get to share some info with you on one of the great prizes that participants can win, as well as posting the Rafflecopter giveaway widget in my post.  I love to run giveaways for my readers, so I'm totally in for this! What a great day it is looking to be. If you haven't yet signed up for K9 Kamp, it's not too late. You have until Tuesday or Wednesday next week to complete the first challenge.  Our hosts for K9 Kamp, Kol's Notes and Peggy's Pet Place, have started us out easy with a simple assignment: Walk (or any other active movement) with your dog for a total of one hour during the week. You can split it up any way you like, as long as it totals an hour. Basically, their goal is simply to get you motivated to start exercising with Fido.  © Molly Products Molly Says Fetch Please? To help you out with motivation, Jodi and Peggy have collected over a $1000 in prizes to award throughout the event. There will be weekly prizes and a grand prize package. I get the honor of telling you about the fetching sticks from Molly Products.  © Molly Products Fetching Sticks Jodi tells me that "these sticks are made from the fragrant Juniper wood of Northern Arizona.  Each branch is cut to 10" long, stripped of it's bark to reveal the fragant Juniper wood underneath, hand-sanded to remove protrusions & rough patches, then bevelled at the end.  These beautiful, hand crafted, Eco-friendly play toys are ideally designed for outdoor entertainment for you and your pet!  The simple game of "throw and fetch" brings relaxed fun and treasured time with your dog." I can tell you that Tanner, my Golden Retriever, would be all over these sticks. He loves playing fetch, both at the dog park and in water. I was excited to see that they float in the video on their website. I think Fetch is Tanner's favorite daily activity--swimming and bringing something back to me. His Retriever DNA is really working well despite his less-than-perfect Golden Retriever conformance. You can purchase your own set of Fetching Sticks from Molly Products here. This week's entries in K9 Kamp get to participate in a giveaway of these high quality fetching sticks, and I got nominated to show off the Rafflecopter.  Yes, I think it's fair to assume it will show up on Fido's Freebie Friday as well.  In order to enter this giveaway, you need not have have signed up for K9 Kamp with Kol's Notes or Peggy's Pet Place nor completed this week's challenge as outlined above. They just want you to check it out, which you have just done by visiting my site and reading a little about the program. You can still join in for the remainder of this week and the upcoming four weekly events.  I hope to see you all at K9 Kamp, where Tanner and Oliver and I are enjoying the camaraderie of this Internet 'get fit' plan. The contest will run through Thursday, Sept. 15th at 12:01 AM and your K9 Kamp hosts will announce the winner next Friday, Sept. 16th in their Featured Blogger post. Happy tails! Full Disclosure: A pair of Fetch sticks are being provided to Kol's Notes and Peggy's Pet Place as a prize. I have not reviewed this product and the giveaway is not sponsored by my blog. I am simply assisting with promotional efforts as a part of the K9 Kamp event.
