Dapper Dog

This Halloween we ran a Facebook costume contest with a prize of a $131 gift certificate.  The participation was amazing!  So many friends posted cute doggy photos and everyone went wild with votes and comments on the pictures.  We’ll share the winners and the runners up here, as well as some of the most unique canine costumes we’ve ever seen:

Mimi, Lil Scout, and Jade took home the prize

Rocco Taco was a close runner-up in his dapper cowboy duds

Moki the Clown was a favorite

Baby sure turned heads in her Fire Hydrant getup!

Celebrity costumes were popular this year, like this great Lady Gaga look.

"Edible" costumes are always a hoot. Stewie went as a sushi roll!

We don't discriminate... everyone loved Mystery's kitty costume.

These are just a few of the awesome costume entries this year.  Visit our Facebook page and click the Halloween Album to see more — from bumble bees to hot dogs to geishas!

One of many $50 styles!

Starting this week, DogCollarBoutique.com is giving away a $50 gift certificate every week!  Apply it toward your favorite haute couture collar or buy a bundle of doggy basics!  You can even use it toward shipping.

This week’s contest is a Facebook photo event — post a cute pic of your pooch on our Facebook fan page wall and your fellow fans will choose the winner with “likes” and comments.  Get your friends to fan us so they can vote too, and stack the odds that your fuzzy (or hairless…) guy walks away with the prize!

We’ll also be mixing it up with other types of contests — trivia questions, dog “favorites” lists, you name it.  We’ll run these by picking a winner at random from the first ten respondents.  We’ll also do other fan-based wins for contests like doggy drawings and funny dog stories, so make sure you get those friends on there to vote for you!

Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the lastest updates on weekly contests.  We’ll post weekly winners there, and do an archive of winners on the blog once a month.

“Bone” chance!
