ALPO(R) brand dog food recently took a survey and found that only two percent of dog owners treat their dog to a doggy spa and only one percent has pampered them with a “professional massage.” Do you think you know what most dog owners enjoyed doing for their beloved pets?
See if you guessed correctly!
Owners usually love to do:
-79 percent gave their dogs treats
-73 percent gave belly rubs
-69 percent took them on walks
Their dog’s fondest memories:
-62 percent say their dogs are the happiest when they greet them after a long day of work
-52 percent love taking runs or walks
-48 percent love treats
-32 percent love naps on the couch
-30 percent love bones
And finally…
What about the recession?
-78 percent of dog owners ask- what recession?
With these statistics, ALPO(R) presented the “Real Dogs Tell It Like It Is” contest. The are searching for dogs to share real stories about their behaviors, whether it’s rolling in mud, chasing balls or drooling for dinner.
The story must be 300 words or less and include a color photo of your dog. Twenty lucky “pawthors” will have their stories published in ALPO’s very first “How To” manual- helping other dogs be dogs. The manual will be published in 2010.
The contest ends on Monday, September 28, 2009 so sharpen those pencils and get pawing!
