Win a Date with Your Dog: Long Walks, Pop-up Picnics, and Doggy Ice-Cream GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Maybe it's from watching too many episodes of The Bachelor, but one of my favorite summer activities has been to explore a new-to-us park complete with a surprise pop-up picnic for us all to enjoy at the end.
We've learned that one way to make these types of 'dates with our dogs' more impromptu is to have a pre-packed bag that we can just grab on our way out. 
So we were super-excited when FROSTY PAWs contacted us about a giveaway of an insulated Frosty Paws backpack packed with all the supplies you need to take a stroll and a picnic with your pup.
It includes:
-An insulated human backpack to keep you and your pups' food cool
-A stainless-steel dog water bottle
-A collapsable food/water bowl
-An insulated food container that can be frozen, and it stores two Frosty Paws ice-cream treats
-A bone-shaped dog waste bag holder
-A coupon for free Frosty Paws (Frosty Paws is available at most human grocery stores in the ice cream aisle)
We like that the bowl, water bottle and waste bag holder all come with clips so you still have room to pack your own human lunch and throw in a picnic blanket.
Frosty Paws has generously given us 4 supply-filled backpacks to give away. There are 2 ways to enter, and each person can enter 2 times.
We love exploring our city and having pop-up picnics.
What would you plan to do with your pup if you won a Frosty Paws backpack?

1) Let us know by commenting on our blog post here
2) You can also enter by posting a photo on our Facebook page of your pooch and letting us know what you would do together if you won a backpack. (And we always love seeing your dog photos!)
3) Winners will be chosen at random using a random number generator

Details:
-You have two chances to win by commenting once on the blog and posting a photo once on our Facebook page.
-We will use a random number generator to randomly choose two winners from blog comments and two winners from the Facebook page.
-You have until Sunday (July 14) at Midnight (EST) to post your comment or photo
-Check our Facebook page and blog the following week for the announcement of winners. If you are a winner, please contact us with your mailing information so we can ship the bag out to you.
-Winners must live within the contiguous United States 

Good Luck Everyone!

PS. We only offer giveaways for products we would actually buy and use ourselves and that we think would be valuable for dog owners

We'd do a picnic down by the river. We took the puppy dog for a walk there last weekend and I commented that I'd love to bring a picnic with us. We just need to get a dog backpack so the pup can share the load!

K-Koira said...

We would use it for a cold picnic lunch at some of the dog events we go to like a day of lure coursing!

Hannah said...

We'd use the backpack for toting snacks and supplies to widget's favorite new outing spot - "Mutt Mondays" at our local minor league baseball team!

Rachel said...

We'd have to tote puppy supplies with us for weekend treks through our new town - with stops at the bakery, park, and local shops!

We would love to use the insulated backpack for scouting out new pack walk locations in the Twin Cities :)

Mayzie said...

Wowza! That is super duper COOL! Get it? COOOOL???

Anyways, I think this would be the best thing EVER to take along on our Shall-Ay Adventures! We do lotsa hiking when we go and this would be just PAWFECT for that!

Kathy said...

The backpack would be perfect to take along on our afternoon outings. What a great idea!

JoleneF said...

Wow how cool is this! If I won,I would love to take my two pitties on a hike to a canyon preserve I have been wanting to do for about a year now. We would hike to the hidden waterfall cascading through volcanic rock and sit at the streamside forest of giant California live oak trees and they could enjoy their frosty paw treats! :)

SherBear said...

I'd find a quiet spot on the lake to picnic with Miss Nala!!

Mel said...

Love this! Always need a way to keep a few things cold at the dog beach, and this would be paw-some. (see what I did there??!) Petal and Posey say thanks for the drawing!

Unknown said...

If I won a backpack, the adventures with my two canine babies would expand beyond our neighborhood. We would be able to explore a lot more of what Arizona has to offer.

We would use it to go strolling and picnicing at the local nature preserve. one of my pups loves to get dirty and muddy so we would have plenty of room for towels and such.

Taylor G said...

Mugsy would love a pack to cool off. He is a big baby in the heat.

Callie's Mom said...

Ms. Callie and her new pup Gus would love to go hiking and be able to take a break eating Frosty Paws!

Rachel said...

What an awesome giveaway! Looks like they loved their treats. If we won the backpack, we would definitely take a trip to our local park, go for a nice walk then set up and relax with the pups and their ice cream.

Danielle said...

Since Sarge is an older gentleman, he gets hot much cooler than Nola. He would love to have an insulated backpack so we can carry cool water and treats for him when we got for walks on the beach during this hot summer in Maine!

Unknown said...

We like to hang out at our local creek where Roxy loves to chase rocks in the water. We would love a cool backpack to take along!

Bella Wolfe said...

We would spend relaxing Saturday afternoons people and dog watching at White Rock Lake in Dallas.

JustaGirl said...

Milo loves coming everywhere with us! So we wouldn't have a hard time putting this backpack to good use :) Whether it be a concert in the park, or day long beach fun!

I would take my girl, Bella, to the dog beach (Ocean Beach) and soak in some San Diego sun!!

We have our paws crossed on this one. We've been trying to win one of these from some other blogs too and have not been lucky yet.

We deleted our first comment because momma forgot to paw about what we would do. We would make sure our mom and dad take us to a nice park where we can sit and enjoy some frosty paws.

We'd enjoy frosty treats at the lake and on road trips!

Laura Fitzgerald said...

We would do a picnic at our local farmer's market. Lilah loves going there, and typically we have breakfast in the grass. The supplies would add to our experience!

maddeelou said...

Baxter and I would love to take a canoe trip down our river with our frosty paws. Yum yum!

Annie & Pauls Mom said...

Annie, Paul, the Hubbs, and I would love one of these for when we're out and about in RVA!

Unknown said...

I would take my 9mo old puppy Lotus to the canal (Cape Cod) and we would have a nice walk, while I continue to train her to focus on me and it's not polite to greet others (dogs and humans alike) unless given the permission. We would hang out in the grassy shaded area and have our snacks and play with some of her favorite toys. This would be a great gift for her and I!!

Unknown said...

Rampage would love to be able to bring Frosty Paws with him for a cool snack on our hikes to the beach! :)

julz said...

Faye and I would use the backpack for a very long walk down the Fox River in downtown St. Charles, IL. She loves it there and likes to walk in the water just enough to get her feet wet and see the ducks.

Sandra K321 said...

Scooter is getting older and can't walk as far as he used to. We would walk to the pond and have a little treat of Frosty paws when he got there.

Peggy Wan said...

I would love to take my pup to a new park with this backpack full of goodies. We love Frosty Paws!

Kim said...

My four legged little boy would make me wear that great backpack while he took me for a walk....anywhere!

We would love to win!! We are huge frosty paws fans!

I live in Canada, but we are coming up to Chicago this summer as part of a road trip. We would begin by using the backpack in and around Chicago; having picnics in parks, site-seeing, and taking Ronnie (the puppy) on the Canine Boat Cruise. We would use it for camping trips, and cottage stays, hikes through national parks. We bring him with us everywhere we go, so it would even be useful for quick car-trips to the dog park, for puppy play dates, or for coming to watch us play softball.

Unknown said...

I would use it for my puppy marshmellow. She and I like walking around downtown and there is a long sidewalk path that goes down to the riverfront. It be great for her to use and I can put snacks for her to eat. I would like to put some tennis balls and a plush toy for her to play with when we find some benches to sit at.

Anna Early said...

My incredibly handsome pup Wilson loves long walks in the park and weekend camping trips near the creek. He'd love this gift set!

Janice said...

My older dog Jessie is eight weeks into a 12-week recovery from ACL surgery, and despite being nearly 12, she greatly misses being able to run, play ball and chase her sister. One of her favorite places on the planet is a little dog beach by us -- it's maybe a mile walk down a wooded trail to get to the water, and she loves the walk, and especially loves to play ball in the water once we hit the beach. My younger dog also loves the water and ball, but I feel bad taking her without her sister, so we've had no beach trips this summer. If all goes well, Jessie will be "beach ready" by mid-August, and I'm sure she'd love a beach picnic with her sister, along with ball playing, cold water to drink between chases, and Frosty Paws for dessert! It would be a great way to celebrate her recovery!

Unknown said...

My pups love to go everywhere especially the park or my parents. With having the pack it would make it easier to go and my 11 year old son would love it so while I'm at work a=he can take the pups on a walk by the river that is right by our house and take their stuff with him.

Rachael said...

French bulldog Wally would use the backpack to stay cool while watching his mom run in the Chicago Marathon!

Unknown said...

We would use everything to enjoy on our walks, trips to the dog park, and when traveling to visit family! We live on a military post and our pup loves going with us to explore the trails around the area. She loves being outdoors and playing in the water! One of her favorite treats is Frosty Paws. She sits at the freezer door waiting for her pupcream when we come back inside after a long day of playing and exploring outside!

Hannah@Eriesistibull said...

We always admire the picnics you guys take with Mr B and Miss M - we could use it to inspire us to go!

Unknown said...

Bailey, my chocoLate lab, loves trail rides. A backpack with Frosty Paws would sweeten the trip

Lindsay said...

My pups and I would go for a hike at a local trail and have a little snack and swim by the lake!

Melanie said...

We would definitely use the backpack and all the supplies on a fun walk-date. And Frosty Paws would be so refreshing for my pup in the hot Houston weather. :)

Two French Bulldogs said...

Picnic, picnic, picnic!!

Laura said...

Our pups love Frosty Paws at their birthday parties, and they would have fun enjoying the backpack of goodies for a summer day date! :)

OG said...

Petey always hogs the blanket when we have picnics or go to the beach.
I'm sure he'd love to have a backpack. We'd use this to walk down Columbia Street (now the gentrified Columbia Waterfront in Brooklyn) to go to Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Jojo's human said...

We would explore more hiking trails !

Unknown said...

Nice picture.It was very good stuff! Thanks for sharing excellent information about dog water.
