We’re panting to telling you about our Dog Days Of Summer Contest, where you could win a Petlinks Patio Pad, a Solvit Deluxe Safety Harness and a Solvit Tubular Barrier – a prize package worth over $200!

We want our dogs to enjoy the summer along with us and to make that possible, we want you to win a bevvy of prizes to make that happen. And all you have to do to enter is to email us a picture of your dog enjoying the summer. He could be doing anything – taking a walk, going for a swim, taking a car ride, sleeping outside, playing at the dog park, hanging out with the kids or his pals. It’s really up to you. Just email a picture to photos@petguide.com and you’re in the running. Then, we’ll post these pics to our Facebook page to share with our community.


Here’s what one lucky winner will get:


The Petlinks Patio Pad (as pictured above, with Oscar as a cover model) is covered in moisture resistant fabric, this pad style bed features a densified fabric cushion for maximum durability, support and comfort, and the fabric cover is machine washable. The Petlinks Patio Pad comes in both large (measures 40” x 30” x 3.5”) and extra-large measures 44” x 35” x 3.5) and retails for $99.99. Oscar was quite content spending the better part of the afternoon sleeping on it while I was busy planting – lazy bugger.


If you’re taking a road trip this summer, make sure your dog is buckled up with the Solvit Deluxe Car Safety Harness. Boasting the ultimate in protection and comfort, it offers a smooth, safe, comfortable road trip for you and your dog.
