A few days ago, I received a very nice email from MrChewy.com asking me to give an honest review of their pet supply web-store, and graciously offering me a $50.00 gift certificate to use at their store as a thank you for taking the time to do so. Before I go on, I want to make you aware that any time I've reviewed any type of product on this blog in the past, whether it be jackets, CDs, books, or videos - the opinions are all my own and I'm not getting paid as an advertiser.
And I plan to keep it that way.
So when this store offered me the certificate in exchange for the review, I thought I would be saying "No thank you," however, in the very next sentence in their email, they mentioned that many of their reviewers have offered the $50.00 certificate as a promo prize to their readers, rather than using it to make a purchase for themselves.
Well, THAT, I can totally do....what better way to say thank you to all of my awesome readers? So I'm happy to announce that I'm having my very first giveway, and giving you a shot at winning a coupon code worth $50.00 to spend at MrChewy.com! (see contest rules below)
And I'm also happy to say that after checking the store out, I have only great things to say about MrChewy.com.
They sell many different brands of quality dog (and cat) foods - including some of the harder to find ones, like Orijen and the Royal Canin Veterinary Diets:
They also have competitive prices on Frontline - and they only sell American Made Frontline.
Along with food and Frontline, you can find dog & cat treats, litter, and wee wee pads....and they offer live chat on their site in case you have any questions about their products.
PLUS...they offer free shipping for purchases over $49.00.
Already sounds awesome, right? Well it gets even better. They offer a referral program - that benefits each of you, and it benefits an animal shelter. There's nothing in it for me, and all I had to do to get these great deals for you was to tell you about MrChewy.com like I just did above.
How cool is that?
The referral program works like this: If you are a first time shopper at MrChewy.com - just use my referral coupon code: CONT4013 - and you will receive 10% off your first order AND they will donate $10.00 to the charity partner that I choose from their site!
As for that donation, they only had three charity partners to choose from, but when I saw Bideawee as one of the choices, I just had to pick them - because as it turns out - that is where I adopted Toby from! So, please, head on over to MrChewy.com and check them out. You'll get 10% off your first order, and help Bideawee at the same time. But before you go, please take the time to read the contest rules and then leave a comment about your favorite Donna and the Dogs' post below, so that you'll have a shot at winning $50.00 to spend while you're shopping at:
FAVORITE DONNA AND THE DOGS' BLOG POST CONTEST RULES: In order to enter, please leave one comment below this post telling me which of the blog posts I have written in the past is your favorite - and why. Commenting about THIS post does not count, it needs to be about a previous post I have written. Please leave the comment here, on my actual blog page, under this contest post to enter. Sorry, commenting through email or on Facebook does not count as an entry, you must visit my actual blog site to enter this contest. Only your first comment under this post counts, (no spam please), and you will need to leave a valid email address for me to contact you with the coupon code. Just be aware that Mr. Chewy only ships within the United States, excluding Hawaii and Alaska, so if you are from out of that area and you want to comment, you will not be able to purchase anything from Mr. Chewy unless you have a relative here that you can have it shipped to or know someone in the States that you would like to give the code to. On or about February 15th, 2012, I will count how many eligible first comments there are, and then I will use Random.org to choose a number out of those, and the person who left the comment with the corresponding number will be my lucky winner.
ETA: You must leave your comment by February 14th 2012.
That's it. Simple, isn't it?
If you have any questions about these rules, don't be shy, just ask.
Now, if you'll excuse me, Donna and the Dogs will be on a brief, short, minor, temporary hiatus (except for answering questions about this contest) until around February 5th, while I work on finishing the first draft of my novel. For those of you who have been watching, you may have noticed that my word count has NOT gone up in several posts...and I have a self imposed deadline to reach.
Good luck, see you in two weeks - and thanks for reading Donna and the Dogs!
