The DogPause Bowl Contest
By cuzzy | May 28, 2008
Some of you may remember a few weeks ago we mentioned a great email we got asking us to spread the word about a bowl that helps your dog eat better.
Well the good people at DogPause were kind enough to send us two bowls for free so we could try them out and tell you all how it went.
Since Bosco only needs one bowl we have decided to give the other one away for free. After we list some more great information about the bowl and DogPause’s new website, we will tell you how you can enter the easy contest.
The people at DogPause are huge dog lovers of course and they are really trying to solve some pretty serious health problems for dogs. This will make everyone happier and healthier in the long run so why not give it a try.
Some of the main features:
- Promotes healthy eating habits.
- No more throwing up after a meal.
- Great for big dogs, perfect for portion control.
- This bowl has some great health benefits.
They have put together a whitepaper on healthy eating for dogs, which is the result of hard work with vets and scientific studies. You can download your very own copy of it here.
Any other information about the bowl and how you can go about ordering one can be found on their website.
They wanted me to mention that the bowl most likely won’t be carried in the big box stores so entering the contest below will be worth your time.
They are going for a more grassroots approach with getting their product out and that means dogs like Bosco who have a blog and a way to get the word out.
The people over at DogPause are some dedicated dog lovers who support the Boulder Humane Society and the Denver-based Dumb Friends League.
Of course what would this post be without some video footage of Bosco trying out the bowl for himself. It is comedy because he really does not know what to make of it.
We put one cup of food in his normal dish and one cup in the DogPause bowl.
Finally he ate of course (he is a lab) but I did not really see a difference in time it took him to eat. That is just our opinion after one try so that is clearly not a good representation of the product.
So what do you think? Want to try one out?
Check out the website or the whiteboard for yourself.
Winning time!
Now for the contest and how you can win one of your very own bowls.
This is a pretty simple contest that anyone should be able to enter.
It will run from today until June 13th (Friday!, scary).
To enter all you have to do is any or all of the following.
- Leave a comment on this post (1 chance)
- Stumble, Digg etc. (2 chances per) You can use the handy bookmark tool at the bottom of the post.
- Subscribe to our RSS feed (3 chances)
- Advertise this contest on your blog with a link back to it. (10 chances)
Now here is the part where you have to help us out and at the same time you will be entering anyways so really it is helping us all.
Leave a comment and tell us what you did to enter so we can keep track of it and make sure everyone gets their fair chance. We will also need a way of getting in touch with you if you win so please enter an email address in the comment form as it asks.
Here is an example of what you need to leave us in the comment section.
Hi Bosco, great idea, I added your feed and will put a link on my site (list site, link). You can contact me using the email I provided in the comment form. Thank you.
Pretty easy right? Once June 13th comes we will take everyone’s entry, list how many chances they get and then have a random draw. The more things you do, the more chances you have to win.
We won’t use your information for anything other than the contest and once a winner is picked we will be in touch to get your mailing address, oh by the way, shipping is free.
Any questions please ask us. Bosco can be hard to understand sometimes and this is what he asked for.
This is going to be a lot of fun so enter now and don’t miss out on this great new product.

Neat looking bowl and I have some that are gulpers, so if it helps…why not??
Since my blog isn’t aimed at pet owners and I don’t blog often about pet related stuff, I’m going to skip posting about your contest, but I will stumble this post (with a review!) as well as digg it.
Good luck!

I think, to be a good affiliate marketer is the hardest thing to do as a blogger, you must have huge traffic to get the possible buyer and also you have to build your own audience, because honestly i?ve never made a single sale with my first blog
