Fab Freebie: Collar Me Bad

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

We know that many of you, like us, have a trusty canine companion by your side during your various DIY projects. So this week’s giveaway is all about making sure your hound is as stylish as your home. And who do we have to thanks for that? Jon Wye and his specialty line of Dog Collars by FredFred.

fredfredcollarsforcontest

Jon is a Washington, DC based designer who’s got a pretty sweet line of belts and t-shirts for us humans, but it was his collection of dog collars (named after Jon’s dog Fred) that caught our eye. The designs are dynamic (from the fun Dogs in Space scene to the intricate India print) and they’re all 100% leather with specially made stainless steel accents. Jon, er, Fred was even kind enough to send Burger a specially sized (1/2″ wide, instead of 1″ standard) Black and Tan Polka Dot collar and he LOVES it. Brings out his eyes, eh?

Want one? Then just comment on this post with the words “COLLAR ME” by Wednesday, April 22nd at 8pm EST. Three randomly selected winners will get their pick of any style and size from the full Fred Fred line (including the soon-to-be-added 1/2″ varieties for smaller breeds). And while you’re commenting with the words “collar me”, we’d also love to know if there’s something you currently do or buy to go that extra mile for your pup… a special treat? a doggie massage? a stylish collar perhaps? These three prizes can be shipped anywhere in the USA and, as always, only one entry per e-mail address is allowed. Winners will be announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    Collar Me!

    Ally would love to look as bada$$ as Burger in a new collar! I know it’s probably totally frowned upon but I often times let Ally sleep at the foot of our bed with us.

    Elaine, my Basset Hound, loves bananas. If she sits quietly and lets me eat in peace, she always gets the last bite!

    Our chocolate lab, Bailey, would look adorable in one of these collars. We go the extra mile by letting our dog sleep in the middle every night! We love her so much, and she’s a part of our family. She even has her own pink pillow. Spoiled rotten…

    I like to get special treats for my “kids”. They will do absolutely ANYTHING for cookies from Blue Dog Bakery (I don’t work for them, I SWEAR!). The think I like about them is that they have regular ingredients that even a human could eat…and I HAVE tasted them with no ill effects! ;) They aren’t bad!

    …That sounds a bit odd on this squeaky-clean blog.

    I don’t have a dog of my own, but I’ll be living with my aunt’s Boston Terror this summer and fall. We already got her a nice marbled leather collar, but it’s starting to fade. And this year I -will- remember to get her a jacket before cold weather starts. I think a yellow rain slicker would look cute…

    Webster gets to go to daycare several times a month, treats galore in obedience school (and elsewhere), and all of the love he can stand from me AND his “grandparents”. He’d look very handsome in that India print collar!
