Calling all Halloween-loving pets and pet parents – the DogWatch 2018 Halloween Photo Contest is here! Starting today, share a photo of your dog in his or her costume on our Facebook wall or via Instagram using the hashtag #DogWatchHalloween. Cats and other pet photos are welcome too. Please also include your pet’s name and breed. The DogWatch team will share the photos on Facebook all month long, and after Halloween, we’ll announce the winners.

The first place winner will receive either a gift basket filled with $75 worth of dog treats, toys and goodies OR your choice of a DogWatch Training Product. And new this year, a $100 donation will be made in the winner’s name to a pet-related charity of their choice.

Selected runners-up photos will also be shared on our blog and social media, so stay tuned.

The contest ends at 12:00PM Thursday, November 1, 2018. Winners will be announced on Friday, November 2, 2018 on our Facebook page and right here on DogTails. We look forward to seeing your dogs in their Halloween finery!
