Royal Canin Doggy Spa Giveaway Clarification

Calling all friends

Royal Canin giveaway

Hello everyone! This is Flower! I haven’t written for a while. In fact, Mom usually hogs the computer. I just got on here and realized that we really need to update my picture! I am much prettier now.

Anyway, why I am writing is because Dottie, Flower, Nigel, and I are concerned about our first ever raffle, the Royal Canin Doggy Day Spa Pack giveaway. We let Mom write up the information, and we think she got it wrong the first time, so we have been coaching her.

First of all, we know that the spa package comes with X-SMALL dog food, but we want to make sure our friends know that they don’t have to be X-SMALL to enter the raffle. None of us shih tzus here are x-small. Well, Candy is kind of small and Nigel is kind of small, but they would need to lose some weight to be x-small. And Candy seems skinny enough! Now, Dottie is really a different subject. I think she’s almost a medium, but she’s sensitive about her weight and doesn’t want to talk about it. I think I’m perfect!

So, now that I have clarified that you don’t have to be x-small to enter, we want all of our friends to please, please enter the contest! After all, who doesn’t want free stuff!! Also, Mom asked people to talk about why their dog deserves to be pampered. Excuse me! We expect our dog friends to enter themselves! So, that means that if they want to, and only if they want tom they should tell us why THEY deserve to be pampered. Their Humans don’t have to speak for them!

Please, please, all of our Twitter friends, come by and enter! Mom doesn’t have many Twitter friends, so we want to show her how supportive ours are by entering our giveaway contest.

Yummy food

Now I am going to give you our opinion of the gift. We LOVE the food. The only problem is that Mom never gives us enough. Now, I can tell you that none of us like baths, so none of us like shampoo, but we do think it smells pretty. Mom says it’s “tropical,” whatever that means. We would have loved to get a few bones or treats in there, but oh well. We know Mom liked everything in the box, so at least she is happy.

mothers day

That gives me an idea!!! Mothers Day is next month. So, why don’t you guys and gals all enter the prize to enter it for your Mom!

So, now that we’ve straightened thinks out, please follow this link to the rafflecopter!!!!

How to enter

Enter the contest with the rafflecopter widget. You can either log in through your Facebook account or enter your email address to enter. Then, click on the down arrow to the right of “+1 DO IT.” It should ask you to tell us why your dog deserves to be pampered (this  isn’t mandatory, but we would love to know).  To leave a comment, scroll to the bottom of the blog, under my picture, and enter your comment where it says “Add New Comment.”

We’d appreciate it if you would Like the Shih Tzu Sisters Facebook page, but that isn’t mandatory either. That’s it!

Also, this is very important. We know the food that comes with this gift is for x-small dogs, but if you have any type of small dog, even if he or she is more than eight pounds (like shih tzus), please enter anyway! We loved everything in the package, and we know you will too! We’ll announce the winner on April 22. Royal Canin will deliver it to you free of charge!

royal canin x-small nutrition line

Royal Canin has more than 40 years of experience in the animal health and nutrition industry. It collaborates with nutritionists, breeders, and veterinarians from around the world to come up with formulas. Their dog formulas include MINI (9 – 22 lbs), MEDIUM (23 – 55 lbs),  MACXI (56 – 99 lbs), and GIANT (100 and up).

They recently set out to come up with the perfect formula for dogs 8 lbs. and under, resulting in the X-SMALL nutrition line. Not all x-small dogs have the same needs, so the X-SMALL line includes PUPPY, ADULT, MATURE (+8), and AGING (+12).

Dr. Brent Mayabb, veterinarian and manager of education and development at Royal Canin, explains that the new formulas take into account the x-small dogs’ unique physiology, specific energy needs, and extra-small jaw size, to provide them with “optimal nutrition.” The formulas also “contain premium nutrition to support heart health, highly digestible proteins and fibers to help regulate digestion and prevent constipation, and are enriched with EPA and DHA to help maintain a beautiful skin and coat.” The kibble is also designed to promote dental health, by reducing tartar build-up as the dog chews.

To celebrate the launch of its X-SMALL line, Royal Canin kicked off The Royal Canin Treatment sweepstakes in late February. One lucky pet parent will get free dog food and grooming for life, along with an accessory shopping spree to pamper their x-small dog. The sweepstakes runs through June 1, 2012. Owners can enter for a chance to win at the Royal Canin website.

In addition to the grand prize, owners also can participate in The Royal Canin Treatment Instant Win Game for a chance to win one of more than 500 prizes for their tiny companion. Instant Win prizes range from gift cards and toys, to travel gear, grooming items and more.
