Our family pack is so excited to be part of such a great giveaway!
This giveaway is exciting!
We are so excited to be sharing it!
What an awesome giveaway! Perfect timing too, with the upcoming season!
We are so excited to be sharing it with everyone!
Wahooo! Great post. So excited for the gift guide to be happening!! We are so glad to be collaborating with you.
It is so exciting to see it all come together!
they all look so fun! we would love the travel prize!
I’m a traveler too! Car rides, hiking and backpacking with my dog parents. Smiles, Barks and Wagging Tails, ~Shasta
we want the treats and food! nom nom!!
I definitely enjoyed them. Smiles, Barks and Wagging Tails, ~Shasta
Holistic goodies please
We are loving the products too!
We’d love to try the training pack! We’re always leaning over here!
Never stop learning! ?It’s good for ALL of us. ?
What a great giveaway! Thanks for putting these great packages together!
We are excited to bring such great bloggers and brands together to have such a fun guide/giveaway!
Just stopping by to say hi! So much fun to be working on this with you!
P.S.: I’m reviewing Love Me Gently on on Monday.
Glad you stopped by! Can’t wait for your review, it is such a great book!
I worry about what products I get for my dogs – there are just too many chemicals in food and products you use on your furbabies. I’d love the Holistic Goodies package, but I think my pack would outvote me and tell me to pick the Treats & Food package. They love to eat!
BOL,just like kids.
I’d really love the Holistic package – I’m trying to use a more natural way of caring for my furbabies. However, my three rescued Treeing Walker Coonhounds would all vote for the Treats & Food package. They’re hounds, after all, and love to eat!
Nala and Cody would love to win the travel gear pack! I love that you highlighted the Not Quite DIY there is some great books included.
It is so fun to have the diverse prize packages! I’ve read all of the books, love them and wrote one. ?
How fun! Ellie and kato would love to win and put to use that travel pack! After moving to the PNW we spend as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors.
Oh wow, the travel package does sound PAWfect for you guys! We love the PNW and you definitely have many wonderful places to be outdoors! If you are in Washington state you need to check out https://youdidwhatwithyourweiner.com/ she is terrific travel guide to hiking with your dogs in the PNW.
They are all great, but I’ll say the travel gear because we are taking a road trip in May.
It’s definitely hard to choose! Where are you heading for your road trip?
the Holistic Goodies is my favorite because i go to a homeopathic vet and use homeopathic and holistic items and dog food.
It does sound like the PAWfect package for your pack!
My pooches would love Treats and Food package since they love to eat.
my pups would love the Treats and Food since they love to eat!
ME TOO!! ~Shasta
They all look great! My favorite is the holistic goodies though.
There are definitely some amazing prize packages. You can see the Holistic goodies highlighted on my co-host Christy’s site https://mylifewithdogspdx.com/hounds-holidays-hot-buys-holistic-giveaway-items/ today.
They ALL look great, especially 1-3 (those in particular look pretty similar). My dogs would love the toys and treats in them.
I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to choose. Smiles, Barks and Wagging Tails, ~Shasta
The packs are all great! For me books, books and more books! My pups would want food though. Thank you for supporting Best Friends. They are incredible at supporting my favorite breed, rescue! Yorkies are my favorite to rescue though,lol.
Both Shasta and I agree! Smiles, Barks and Wagging Tails, Denise and ~Shasta
I think I would like either the Travel Gear package or the DIY one. Thanks!
It’s so hard to decide… 😉
the training pack for my daughter who wants to be a dog trainer
That is so exciting! How old is your daughter?
My dog would love any of the packages since they all have snacks in them but probably she would like treats & Food best. But they are all great!
Sounds like you have another food/treat motivated furry buddy like ours….
I really want the travel package! Our boys go everywhere with us!
We are right there with you, Shasta goes everywhere with us too! Good luck!
I’d love Prize #4: “Not quite DIY”. I would really love a Gold Paw Series Coat for Ruby. I also love the autographed books and treat brands that are new to us. Plus I’d love the Brooklyn Bowtied for my pup Logan 🙂
I love this prize as well. I’m a little biased since my book and a few of my faves are in the giveaway. Plus, Shasta looks great in his Brooklyn Bowtie and we are getting LOADS of use out of his Gold Paw Series Coat. The little old man has even been sleeping in it. 😉
We would LOVE the travel pack so we could just get up and go on an adventure whenever!
We are huge travelers as well and definitely see the travel pack’s appeal. Boy is it hard to choose!! 😉
I would like the holistic package but any look awesome!
I totally understand, the more I look at them, the more I wouldn’t be able to decide either.
would love any of these!
They’d make any pup’s Christmas morning or wish list for any occasion… ???
