To enter, pet parents must explain why their pooch deserves to be named America's Fittest Dog. How many hours do they work out – or play – each week? Have they received any awards or honors? Submissions must also include a quality photograph that shows the dog in action.
"In addition to providing pet parents easy access to pet health information, petMD is also committed to raising awareness of preventive pet care and the role exercise and nutrition play in a pet's life," states Nicolas Chereque, petMD founder. "We launched this contest to underscore the importance of fitness and to highlight those dogs that lead healthy, active lives."
A team of petMD judges will carefully select 10 finalists with the most impressive qualifications and post them to Facebook on April 30. Voting will be open to the entire Facebook community for two weeks to determine who will be named America's Fittest Dog.
The winner will receive a $750 PetFoodDirect.com gift certificate, a PawGanics gift basket, a Chuckit! ball launcher and tennis ball pack, a Gnawin' Forever chew toy and refill, a Cardio Canine hands free dog leash, and a year's supply of NaturVet all-in-one powder supplement. Each of the nine finalists will also receive prizes from the contest's sponsors.
