12 Days of Giveaways | Day 9

December 14, 2018 7 Comments

Do you wish you could keep your pet with you during your favorite yoga class? Turns out, you can!

It’s day 9 of It’s Dog or Nothing’s 12 Days of Giveaways, and I know I’ve said this a lot, but I am so excited about today’s giveaway!

I have always been an active person, and I used to attend yoga classes consistently. After college, I got away from it—mostly because classes weren’t convenient anymore.

I’ve been thinking about trying to find a local place out here, but I haven’t taken the jump to do it. I needed new gear and a new yoga mat before I got started, and I just wasn’t motivated.

DownDog Yoga Mats

DownDog Yoga Mats are the perfect way to bring your love of animals and activity to the next level.

Colorful and creative, our quality mats are water, sweat (and fur!) resistant. They are also free of toxic phthalates, dioxins and furans, phenal, and heavy metals.

General breed fan or want a customized mat, you can get exactly what you want from DownDog Yoga Mats.

I’m going to be completely honest—I was a bit skeptical about how the mat would actually turn out. The pictures on the website were beautiful, but you never really know.

I started chatting with the owner, Moria, and immediately fell in love with the company. Her passion and dedication blew me away, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on my own DownDog Yoga Mat.

I really wanted a customized mat of my floofs, so I sent a few photos her way. Then I waited anxiously for my new yoga mat to arrive.

Not long after, I was surprised with this glorious mat.

How amazing is this mat?! Can you imagine being in a “down dog” and looking down and your pets’ faces? It’s perfect!

Not only is the mat adorable, it’s very high quality. It’s not one of those thin yoga mats that just keeps you off the floor. The cushion feels amazing, and makes me want to use it even more.

It’s also very easy to clean. I know that because as soon as I rolled out the mat the first time, Kiska sprinted in the house right across the mat leaving a lot of muddy paw prints. It wiped right up with some paper towels.

Adorable, functional, and easy to keep clean. Pyrfect.

Want to get your hands on your own DownDog yoga mat? Enter the giveaway below for the chance to win!

Does your dog need a new memory foam mattress? I'm pretty sure he does. Enter here to win a dog bed from Bark!

Whose dog needs a new bed? *everyone raises their hands* 🙌🙌🙌

How about a memory foam dog bed? *all dogs raise their paws* 🐾🐾🐾

Well, that’s what you can win on day 8 of our 12 Days of Giveaways! (remember, you can find all of the giveaways here)

Bark

Get excited—Bark just launched their new dog bed! It’s a super-soft memory foam bed, with a machine-washable microfleece cover. Talk about luxury for your pup.

Our BarkBox memory foam orthopedic bed is so cozy and indulgently supportive that your dog will never want to get out of bed. The thick memory foam base supports your dog’s joints and pressure points; great for all dogs, but especially those with arthritis, recovering from surgery, or other mobility issues.

But seriously, why should you choose the E s sential Bed from Bark for your dog?

Quality: Made from memory foam and gel that bounces back for optimal support (tested by me and has the Floof Mom Guarantee).
Machine-Washable: The top layer of fleece is waterproof and the cover is machine-washable (because mud is a serious problem).
Improves Sleep: Body aches, joint pain, and arthritis pain are relieved with the orthopedic support (also tested by me 😜)
Durable: Plush fabric hides dirt, fur, and hair (it also vacuums clean very well).

I must say, the floofs are big fans of their new bed. It’s a tad small, but they still enjoy the comfort. I’m just waiting for Miss Independence to take over the bed. I suspect that will happen any day now 😉

Think your dog would love a new bed? Enter the giveaway below for the chance to win the Essential Bed from Bark!

In the meantime, if you need a last minute gift for the dog in your life, you’ll want to head to Amazon on December 15th to snag one of these beds at 30% off.

Yep, 30% off for 24 hours only. You should probably add it to your calendar now so you don’t forget (psst… here’s the link again).

December 9, 2018 18 Comments

We’re officially halfway through our 12 Days of Giveaways! We’ve had a blast so far, and I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing all of the amazing products. If you missed a day, be sure to go back and enter the giveaways here.

Today, we’re hosting a giveaway for a new floof favorite, and I guarantee your dog will love it. We’re going to give you a brief overview, but stay tuned—we’ll be talking more about this product over the next few months (that’s how much we like it).

Dr. Marty Pets

A leader in integrative medicine, Dr. Martin Goldstein (Dr. Marty), aims to combine both traditional medicine and alternative therapies to help your pet, be its healthiest, happiest self.

After going through his own health issues and learning how to heal them, he knew he could make the lives better of our furry friends.

The Food

Because the bottom line is: Your lucky pet can live a healthier, happier, more vibrant life… starting today. – Dr. Marty Pets

A few months ago, we were given the opportunity to try the dog food from Dr. Marty, Nature’s Blend. I was a bit apprehensive about trying it because the floofs are insanely picky, but I figured we’d give it a try—never hurts to try.

They. Were. Obsessed.

Color me impressed.

Nature’s Blend is a premium freeze-dried dog food formulated to give your dog a healthier life. It combines proteins (including meats, fish, beef, and duck) for variation, and includes fruits and vegetables for balanced nutrition. It is also all-natural and free from chemicals and fillers.

Giving Back

My favorite thing about Dr. Marty’s is the fact that they partner with Freedom Service Dogs of America.

Freedom Service Dogs of America rescues shelter dogs and trains them as service dogs for the people who need them most. This is a cause close to my heart since Miss Kiska was a rescue and is well on her way to become a service dog for me.

Stay Tuned

We have so much more to tell you about Dr. Marty and his products, so keep your eye out over the next several months. In the meantime, enter below to win two (2) bags of Nature’s Blend from Dr. Marty! Five (5) lucky winners will be randomly selected.

If you just can’t wait to get your paws on Dr. Marty’s food, you can try some at a GREAT discount. Click here to give it a try!

Need a little help with dog training? Enter to win a copy of Tom Shelby's Dog Training Diaries on It's Dog or Nothing!

Welcome to day 6 of the 12 Days of Giveaways! If you’re behind, you can enter all the giveaways here.

Today, we’re giving away a copy of a book that every dog owner can benefit from: Dog Training Diaries by Tom Shelby.

My favorite thing about this book is how it’s laid out. Unlike traditional dog training books, it doesn’t just teach you how to train simple commands. It answers real questions that dog owners have.

What should I do if my dog gets into a fight?

How do I prevent my dog from escaping?

Why does my dog lick everything?

Why is my dog eating poop?

How do I calm my dog down during thunderstorms?

Tom Shelby

Tom Shelby is an expert dog trainer, specializing in search-and-rescue dogs, with over four decades of experience. Shelby was a dog handler at the Westminster Dog Show, has trained celebrity dogs, and has more than 800 training appointments a year, working to create harmony between two- and four-legged friends.

Expert Answers to Real Questions

Are you inadvertently rewarding your dog’s terrible manners when neighbors arrive? Are you misinterpreting the peeing at the door as bad behavior? In Dog Training Diaries, lifelong dog trainer Tom Shelby captures the basic guidelines of training dogs and offers advice, strategies, and personal insight to deal with the most common problematic situations dog owners face.

When it comes to dog training, everyone has different opinions of what is right or wrong, or what works vs. what doesn’t. I, like many other people, have very strong opinions about dog training. No matter what your stance, you can find value from this book.

Tom Shelby refers to himself as an “it depends” trainer. If you’ve been around here awhile, you know that I am 1000% positive reinforcement. However, I still found a lot of value from this book.

My favorite part is that the book is sprinkled with stories from his training experiences. They really help you understand him as a dog trainer, and a person, which added a nice layer to the book.

Does your dog suffer from anxiety? Enter to win a pack of Treatibles on It's Dog or Nothing to help keep your dog calm.

It’s day 5 of our 12 Days of Giveaways on It’s Dog or Nothing!

Yesterday was a nice lead in to today. To keep on helping dogs with anxiety, today’s giveaway is sponsored by Treatibles!

Treatibles have been a staple in our house for a few years. I always stock up before stressful events—our two main purchases being around fireworks and travel.

Being in Seattle, we live far away from our family on the east coast. No one likes 40-hour drives, but the dogs are particularly against the lengthy travel. I’m sure many of you have holiday travel plans coming up, and I think Treatibles could help you and your dog enjoy your holiday plans.

As much as we love the holidays, they can be the cause of a lot of stress, especially for our furry companions. Whether you’re hosting friends and family or traveling to celebrate, it’s a stressful time of year for our pets.

(Psst… if you missed any of the previous giveaways, you can find them all here.)

Since Mauja has every day anxiety, we have a ton of anti-anxiety treats, chews, and supplements around the house. She usually requires a combination approach to calm her down; however, there is one constant stress-relief treat that is always a hit (for me and her).

Treatibles

Treatibles are our go-to treat for stress and anxiety relief. Whether it’s the holiday hustle and bustle, fireworks, or military training, we always have Treatibles on hand.

I’ll even give them to Atka sometimes when he comes with me to work. Since it’s a rare treat for him, he gets very excited, and Treatibles help take the edge off a bit.

Treatibles contain organic full spectrum hemp oil formulas to help calm pets in any situation. All Treatibles products are virtually free of THC, non-psychoactive, and non-toxic.

Our products help to instill calm, ease and balance for beloved animal companions, large and small – Treatibles

Giving Back

I can’t be the only one obsessed with Pitbulls & Parolees and Villalobos. I’ve followed them for quite some time now, and I’ve been impressed with everything they have been able to accomplish.

Treatibles partnered with Mariah (one of the family members running Villalobos) to create a treat in honor of her dog, Tater Tot. Appropriately named, “Tater’s Sweet Potato Tots,” Treatibles gives $1 back toward Villalobos veterinary care for every package purchased.

So, what are you waiting for? It’s giveaway time!

Does your dog struggle in certain situations? Enter to win a Calmz anxiety relief system for your dog on It's Dog or Nothing.

Welcome to day 4 of our 12 Days of Giveaways! Have you been enjoying the giveaways so far? Let us know in the comments below 🙂

Today, we’re giving away something that a lot of dogs could benefit from—an anxiety relief system.

Mauja has suffered from pretty severe anxiety since she was about eight months old. We never did find the trigger of the anxiety, so we’ve been working on desensitization and finding supplements to help keep her calm.

Anxiety is extremely common in dogs. In fact, it’s estimated that over 24 million dogs in the U.S. suffer from regular anxiety. This anxiety can be caused by storms, fireworks, loud noises, car rides, among several other things.

We’re always looking for new products to help her. One I was pretty excited about was a compression shirt, like a thundershirt. I have a weighted blanket and understand the calming powers of compression, so I was really excited for Mauja to have that as well.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have much success with it.

Calmz

A few years later, I was introduced to Calmz. I figured it was just another compression shirt, and I tossed it aside because I know how little success I had with Mauja previously.

Eventually, I decided to try again, and I’m really glad I did. The Calmz anxiety relief system was definitely helpful in managing Mauja’s situational stressors.

The Calmz^® Anxiety Relief System for dogs consists of an adjustable vest that cradles a device over specific acupressure points on your dog’s spine. When the device is activated, the clinically proven NeuroSync^™ Technology takes over. Your dog will hear and feel a therapeutic blending of classical music, tones, and vibrations that soothes anxiety within minutes. – Calmz

Since so many people have dogs suffering from anxiety, we wanted to extend this giveaway to TWO of you! Please note that the giveaway is for the XL size of the vest. Please ensure it will fit your dog or you’re willing to donate the vest to the appropriate-sized dog.

Enter the giveaway below for your chance to win!

12 Days of Giveaways | Day 3

If you have a dog, you're far too familiar with mud. Enter to win a car seat cover from one of our favorite brands, 4Knines!

It’s day 3 of the 12 Days of Giveaways and omg you guys, this is one of my favorite products.

We all know that pyrs attract mud—it’s like some mystical power. Plus, we live in the Pacific Northwest which means even more mud. And shocker, cars are expensive. I love my floofs, but I can’t afford to detail my car every month, and towels are worthless. They just slide them around, spreading the mud even further.

I started searching for a good seat cover a few years ago, but I couldn’t find anything that worked. If I found a good deal, they fell apart within months. If they were good quality, the price was astronomical.

Luckily, I was introduced to 4Knines and have used their seat covers for years now. We have one in each car, and they have each lasted for several years, with no end in sight.

4Knines

Plus, keeping them clean is so simple. Just wipe them down or vacuum and air dry. If the mess is just out of control, machine wash on the gentle cycle and hang dry. Boom, done.

For a lot of products, I’m always looking for the next best version.

When it comes to seat covers, 4Knines is always my recommendation. The owners, Jim and Maggie, are amazing people and truly care about their customers. They are constantly working to implement feedback and improve their product.

And guess what? Today, you get the chance to win your own seat cover from 4Knines. For day 3 of the 12 Days of Giveaways, 4Knines is giving away a rear seat cover to one lucky winner!

This is what I have in my car and it’s perfect.

Side note: We’ve talked about 4Knines a few times before. If you want more information and to learn more about them, you can check them out here and here.

Enter the giveaway for your chance to win a rear seat cover from 4Knines. If you just can’t wait, check out all of their products on the 4Knines website.

Welcome to day 2 of the 12 Days of Giveaways! Did you enter yesterday’s giveaway? If not, you can find all the giveaway links here.

Okay, let’s get to today’s giveaway. There is one thing I think about getting done every single year, and every year, I put it off. And then I regret putting it off.

I want to get custom paintings done of all the dogs. In fact, I’m pretty sure I put it into my Gift Guide for Great Pyrenees Lovers almost every year, which is why I’m super excited for today’s giveaway!

Aquila Watercolor

I learned about Aquila Watercolor recently and let me tell you, I’m obsessed with her work.

The genius behind the art, Jessica, is able to beautifully capture your pet’s personality with vibrant watercolors. Check out a few of her paintings:

I can’t be the only one completely captivated by her work! I mean, seriously, just LOOK AT IT.

Concerned about the cost? No problem. She offers three sizes to suit every budget. I also love that she used her sweet daughter to showcase the different sizes available.

I’m pretty sure each floof needs their own individual painting (and of course Miss Independence, too!). The house is just going to be completely covered in portraits of the pets, and you know what? I’m okay with that 🙂

If you’re looking for something a little different, you can also find gorgeous artwork prints of various animals, flowers, and landscapes on her Etsy shop. I am so down for her printable coloring pages, too.

But now… giveaway time!

Jessica has offered to create an 8×8 custom portrait for one lucky winner. But, if you can’t wait to find out if you’re the winner or know the perfect person to gift a portrait to, you can head to Aquila Watercolor‘s website to put in your custom order today!

Enter the giveaway below for your chance to win a custom portrait of your pet!

12 Days of Giveaways | Day 1

December 3, 2018 21 Comments

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and this year, we’re celebrating with 12 days of giveaways!

For the next 12 days, we’ll be featuring a single brand or product and then offering a giveaway for some lucky winners! Be sure to stop by each day to check out the next product giveaway, and trust us—they’re all pretty awesome.

For day 1 of the 12 Days of Giveaways, our prize comes from Cades & Birch!

Cades & Birch: His, Hers, Paw Key/Leash Holder

I love wood accents. We have reclaimed wood above our fireplace, on our kitchen peninsula, and around some of our larger mirrors. It’s such an easy way to add beautiful accents to your home. However, I don’t have the eye (or the talent, let’s be honest) to create anything more creative.

I tried my hand at crafting with wood a few months ago and made a leash holder myself. While I like it, it is definitely not what I had pictured in my head—or seen on Pinterest.

I adore this His, Hers, Paw key and leash holder from Cades & Birch. It’s customizable, so no matter what your relationship or dog status, you can find the perfect match for you. You can even choose the stain color so it fits in with your exiting decor.

If you like her style—and I guarantee you will—there are a ton of pet products to choose from. From pet ornaments, to feeding stations, to wooden treat boxes, there’s something for everyone.

And not just pet people. There is a ton of kitchen and home decor to round out your style. (psst… if you know someone planning a wedding, send them this link—they’ll thank you.)

But, let’s get to what you really care about—the giveaway! Enter below for you chance to win a key and leash holder from Cades & Birch!
