And the winners are!!!

We have winners of the super cool Cranimals gift packs, with Cranimals Supplements and ZenDog Biscuits!

Thank you to everyone who entered, we sure wish that every pup could win.

To pick the winners, Mum put out all the entires, then she sent me to the batch to pick up one at a time. Here she is holding one of them...turn it over Mum, let's see who won!!!

Big congrats go to:

Yoda the Dog, who's Mum attended BarkWorld Expo with us. You can visit Yoda on his blog, on Facebook and on Twitter. Be sure and give he and his Mom some big congrats!

Dena Calivas and Bella are the second winners of one of the prize packs. They are two of our good buds on Facebook. Dena is an eco-friendly Realtor in Jacksonville, Florida.

And last but certainly not least...Pica and Biscuit, two pups cared for their Mom who has a fun blog called LambAround. I sure hope they remember to do sit for their Cranimals, BOL!

We hope all the pups love their Cranimals prize packs, and hope they share their green-ness with the world, or in Pica and Biscuits case their newfound green-ness!

Happy National Holistic Pet Day!

Happy National Holistic Pet Day! What a great day for pups to celebrate being healthy and happy.

What does holistic mean? We believe it means taking the approach of caring and treating the whole being and their relationship to their environment. And that means taking green and healthy care of your pup and all they come in contact with.

To celebrate, we'd like to share with you some of the most important articles we've posted over the years on our blog to help you and your pup have a greener, healthier life and environment:

Let's Talk Food - one of the most important parts of your dog's life is what they eat - healthier food means a healthier pup. Learn about all the food options and what's right for you and your dog!

A b-e-a-u-tiful and safe lawn for you and your green dog! - your pup spends a lot of time in your yard, so learn how to keep it safe and healthy!

Water - It's the basis of a dogs life! - one of the most important elements to your dog's health is water. Learn how to keep your dog's water the safest it can be!

What to do with the doo? - one of the largest environmental paw prints your dog leaves is their doo! Learn how to dispose of it in the healthiest and safest way possible.

You can learn more about how to help your dog be green in our Learn To Be Green Section, as well as sniff out hard to find green products for your dog on our portal. And don't miss connecting with us on Facebook and Twitter for lots of updates, discussions, info and more!

Now get out there and have a fun, healthy day with your pup and celebrate National Holistic Pet Day!

Cranimals to sponsor Raise A Green Dog at BarkWorld Expo...enter to win some 'good stuff'!

We are so excited!!! One week from today we will be in Atlanta for the weekend at BarkWorld Expo, August 20-22. If you haven't heard about BarkWorld, you have to go check it out!

The super cool part is that we've teamed up with the great folks at Cranimals - makers of the healthy, green, whole food supplements and functional biscuits for our upcoming trip!

But the very best part is Gracie (my sis) and I will be handing out some yummy samples of their pawsome products at the event. And that's not all!!!

From today until midnight, ET, August 24th you have a chance to win one of three nice little gift packs of Cranimals Supplements and ZenDog Biscuits just by doing a few little fun things!

All you have to do to enter is:

  • Friend Cranimals on Facebook (but be sure and leave a comment on this blog post so we'll know you friended Cranimals, or you won't receive an entry to win, K?).
You can also earn more entries by:
  • Leaving a comment with this blog post telling us why you are just begging to get your paws on a Cranimal gift pack (one entry), and by;
  • Friending Raise A Green Dog on Facebook (one more entry)

That means you have three opportunities to enter! Just leave us a comment on this post that you friended Cranimals and/or RAGD on FB and leave your email address too, so we can get in touch with you if you are a big winner! When I get back from BarkWorld, I'll be drawing out three winners from the entries (one winner per prize pack, please :).

The gift packs will include a package of your choice of Cranimals organic, healthy and tasty supplements, and a full size package of organic ZenDog Biscuits (which I have to say from experience are very tasty). Their ZenDog Biscuits were recently awarded the Editors Choice Award from Pet Product News International.

Their Cranimals supplements are created from antioxidant super foods like cranberries, red raspberries, and blueberries, and with vegan DHA Omega 3 extracted from algae. Very healthy!

We got to test them out not too long ago, and loved them! All of their products are made with wholesome, healthy ingredients, organic and have no artificial yucky stuff...just right for a green, or aspiring green dog.

So what are you waiting for! Be sure and enter, and if you're in the Atlanta area next weekend, stop by and say hi to me and Gracie, and pick up a super yummy treat!
