#TreatRight with Power Bites

Last night's #TreatRight Twitter Party was certainly a fun event. Tons of dog lovers showed up to share their pet's photos (tons of them!) while learning how to select the right treat for their dog in each and every occasion and gauging the right amount of treating. Having a purpose for treating seemed to be a key factor in enjoying treat time. Guests were encouraged to select healthy treats, choose times appropriately, and treat responsibly to help maintain a healthy weight:

Basic behavior training
Performing requested behaviors
House training, crate training and potty training
Advanced skills such as agility, service dog work, show dog work, and more
Games like nosework, hide-n-seek and other similar fun
Brain games the provide mental stimulation, exercise and problem-solving practice
Willingly joining a pet parent for a bonding or other activity

Ten lucky winners scored $70 prize packages (bigger for the Grand Prize!) with a nice selection of Merrick Treats from 4 lines that offer much variet: Kitchen Bites, Power Bites, Jerky Chip Treats and Dental Chews. Our winners will have power treats for higher activity, larger treats for long days on the go, dental treats for clean teeth and breath, and other options for all sorts of training and other other good behaviors. Tanner and Oliver have loved, loved, loved reviewing these delicious yummies. They have such a tough job!

After the party there were bunches of thank you's to our friends at Merrick, but you can help us thank them by clicking the RT button on this tweet:

Finally, please help me congratulate all 10 of our #TreatRight winners. Our 3 pre-party event winners are: Social following--@AyEll922, RSVP--@tfjsmn, and Tweeting--@martiparks. These lucky folks will receive a Merrick treat box including 5 bags of treats and a 4 lb. bag of Merrick Grain-Free Chicken or Grain-Free Real Texas Beef dry food. This prize package is valued at $70! Our next 6 party winners scored this same prize package. These winners are: @Evielvsclassics, @graciemaebeagle, @alisonrauch,

Finally, our Grand Prize winner really digs deep. This prize package seeks to offer the winner a chance to sample even more or the Merrick line by including a 12-lb. bag of food in the winner's choice of protein, along with $40 in additional wet food, dry food or treats (winner’s choice!). This winner is @RaiderPupTTU. Oh happy day!
