I am so excited to write this blog post. A few weeks ago, Royal Canin contacted me and asked me if I would be willing to do a product review and a giveaway to my blog readers. Of course, I said YES!
Royal Canin is launching the X-Small brand of their dog food. Royal Canin X-Small is designed specifically for small dogs (under 8 lbs), between the ages of 10 months to 8 years old. Although I’m a Shih Tzu – standard size – and I’m a little bit over 9 lbs in full-coat, I decided I would try this dog food anyway. I figured I am probably around 8 lbs if I get a complete shave.
So this brand of Royal Canin X-small has small, dry kibbles, an ideal size for small doggies, and the product label claims to help with healthy bowel movements. It also has EPA and DHA to help maintain a lovely coat and healthy skin. Plus, it tastes pretty good to me… I enjoyed it.
To celebrate the dog food launch on their new product, Royal Canin sent me over this awesome “Doggie Day Spa” gift pack (an $80 value), and they are sponsoring my first product GIVEAWAY. One lucky winner will get to win the following:
- A small bag of Royal Canin’s new X-SMALL dog food
- Oatmeal and baking soda shampoo
- Grooming lead (for easier bathing sessions)
- Natural grooming wipes
- Microfiber Pet Towels (pack of 5)
- Grooming brush
- Toothbrush and toothpaste combo pack
- Nail trimmer
Mama and I love, love the small grooming brush. It feels so good on my fur, and I will actually tilt my head up to get brushed. It is awesome. She tried the toothbrush on me, and I made a run for it. So I guess she is going to have to be sneakier about it. (I am NOT looking forward to getting a bath with the shampoo… and luckily Mama can’t figure out how the grooming lead works. And I hope she never figures it out! I hate baths, as you all know!)
But anyway, it is a SUPER cool gift pack and we are SO thrilled to share it with one of our lucky blog readers! Even if your dog isn’t extra small (under 8 lbs), you can still enter to win the rest of the stuff. (And you can donate the bag of dog food to a no-kill local shelter!) There are NO size restrictions on who can enter and win!
Here’s how to enter. It’s very simple:
- Like My Facebook Fan Page
- Follow me on Twitter
- Leave a comment below and tell me how you want me to contact you, if you win! (When entering your email address in the comment form, please use an accurate one that you check regularly.)
I will be selecting one winner at random. I’m going to email or Direct Message (if you want me to contact you via Twitter) the winner for his/her mailing address. (Sorry but I think the winners have to be U.S. Residents.)
Please enter and share this post! Good luck!
The contest ends on Sunday, March 25 at 8 p.m. U.S. Central Time.
Royal Canin is also hosting a cool sweepstakes called the Royal Canin Treatment, where one lucky winner will get to win FREE DOG FOOD and FREE Grooming for LIFE! And you get a cool shopping spree, on top of that. The sweepstakes only runs through June 1, 2012.
Congratulations to Roxie the Pug who won the contest! Thanks for entering everyone.
Hey Gracie. It’s too bad that only US citizens can join this contest.
Anyway, veterinarians here in the Philippines highly recommend Royal Canin for doggy recoveries. I’ve had my fair share of Royal Canin such as their Recovery food and Rehydration.
Well, just dropping by.
Huggies and Cheese,
