Giveaway: Chicken Soup For The Pet Lover's Soul

Over the years, I've had a lot of pets come into my life. I admit I'm the worst foster pet parent in the world - once they come into our family, it's pretty much til death do us part. Now we're currently owned by 8 pets - five cats, two corgis, and one crazy bunny. (and a partridge in a pear tree? LOL)


(Like I can resist an excuse to show off kitty cuteness. C'mon!)


Now, I'm pretty sure that you can imagine that the pet food bill pretty much rivals the human grocery food bill around here. One thing I've learned: the better quality the pet food, not only the less food is consumed, but the less health problems the pets will have. I know with the economy the way it is, it's harder to fork out the money for pet food, but in the long run, it will save you money. (if you have cats, you'll notice a difference in the litter box smells!)

One of the Corgis we had in the past, had pretty bad food allergies. On the quest to find a food he did not react to, we came across Chicken Soup For the Pet Lover's Soul. I got a kick out of the name! While it didn't solve his allergy problems (it turned out that his allergies were in layers, and we ended up homecooking for the poor guy), I liked the message behind Chicken Soup, and have recommended it over the years as a quality food.


Chicken Soup For the Pet Lover's Soul makes both dog and cat food, as well as kitten and puppy food, in dry kibble and canned form. It is made with natural ingredients, and while it does have a higher price tag than grocery store pet foods, it is made here in the USA, which after that horrible pet food recall several years ago, is very important to me.

Port Orchard folks, you can purchase this brand over at both Pet Town (across from Fred Meyer) and Del's Feed Store. Both are great places to stop by and support locally - they have The Grumpy Princess and Psycho Corgi's seal of approval! ;)

Win it! I'm so excited because the folks behind Chicken Soup For The Pet Lover's Soul is allowing me to host a great giveaway! One lucky winner will receive:

- Copy of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul (a great book which we have, be warned, you may cry)
- Sample of any Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul food (winner can choose which one they want for their pet)
- $30 gift certificate to PetFoodDirect.com

To enter, I'd like to know if you will be buying for a cat or dog (or both!) and please visit Chicken Soup For the Pet Lover's Soul and tell me a location near you that you can purchase their food. Do you shop at that store already?

As always, you can receive extra entries for:
-Subscribing to my feed or following my blog
-Blogging about this giveaway with a link back
-Tweeting about this giveaway (leave the link or @psychotichouse me)
-Add my blog to your Technorati favs (leave your username)

That's five possible entries! Giveaway ends October 10th at 11:59 PM PST, and please leave your email address in your entry or have it available in your profile. US only, sorry :( Good luck everyone!! :)

Lin said...

Gees, you have more pets than me!! Well, mine mostly stay out in the pond--do I have to count them as "pets"?

toxicpuree said...

Ohhh this would be amazing! I'd be buying for a dog. The only place close enough for me to buy is actually the groomer my parents take their pooch to! La Best, Inc.

This book sounds great for a pet lover like you!
Don't enter me as I don't have any pets. Thanks!

BeadedTail said...

I can't resist kitty cuteness either! I haven't heard of this food before but I'd certainly buy it for both cats and a dog. The nearest place to me is Animal Crackers Pet Supply here in town. We do shop there, it's an awesome shop and also a satellite kitty adoption center for our local shelter. Thanks for the opportunity!

Jo said...

I'd be buying for both and then some.My ferrets I'd be getting the kitten food for. Our local Agway sells it. I also love the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.

I have a 3.5 year old dog named Meatball. He has horrible skin and ear problems and this food might be perfect for him. I would buy it at a place called "In Good Health" that I haven't been to yet but have been wanting to try.

I'm entering this for a friend's dog.
The closest store to my friend is in Bartlett, IL at Wagging Tails. I don't think she shops there regularly. I believe she goes to PetCo most often.
