                        Overflowing box of Zuke's Dog Treats!

And the great news for you is: one lucky reader will win an entire box of 15 Zuke's treat pouches just like this! See details at the end of this post to enter.

But first, let's talk a minute about Zuke's the company: We mentioned yesterday that they've been a "green company" from the very beginning, but they've fueled their good works in lots of other ways, too. For example, Zuke's recently launched a "Fuel the Love to Fuel the Cure" social media campaign to help support The Dog and Cat Cancer Fund, a non-profit dedicated to understanding, treating and preventing canine and feline cancer. Zuke's has long donated a portion of all product sales to this fund, but this effort engages it's customers, too. For every person who follows @ZukesPets on Instagram or Twitter and tags their action-packed photo or video of their pooch with #fuelthelove, Zuke's will donate $5 to the Dog and Cat Cancer Fund, up to $10,000. Thanks for that extra effort, Zuke's!

Now on to our review of these Zuke's treats. Clockwise from top: Skinny Bakes, Z-Filets,  Soft Mini Naturals and Hip Action.

All of Zuke's treats are made in the United States and all of the ingredients are sourced from the U.S, except some of their meat, which is imported from New Zealand. And the first ingredient for each of these treats (except the vegan biscuits) is whole meat.

        Here I am about to enjoy a piece of venison Z-Filet...

And the peanut butter, Hip Action treat...although I'm still lickin' my chops from the Z-Filet!

All that and I can also inhale a Skinny Bake and still keep my boyish figure.

Rest assured that I also sampled a few of the Soft Mini Naturals, but I gobbled them too quickly for Parental Unit to snap a picture!

Now that we've enticed you with this variety of Zuke's healthy dog treats, why not try and win this massive giveaway for your pooch? (And wouldn't a pouch or two make a nice "hostess gift" when attending a holiday party...provided that the hostess has a dog!)

The ONE lucky winner will receive all 15 pouches of the Zuke's dog treats described above. Limited to residents of the continental United States.

Walkers Shortbread "Scotties": Delicious And Downright Adorable Giveaway!

We thrilled to bring you news about this very generous campaign and giveaway from Walkers Shortbread. Yes, those Walkers, who have been creating the best shortbread cookies in the world since 1898 from two small villages in Scotland. They've teamed up this year with the ASPCA to help fund their animal welfare initiatives across the United States with a very clever (and tasty) campaign. Walkers has literally shaped its delicious shortbread recipe into Scotland's own Scottish Terrier, one of five breeds of the Skye terriers that originated in Scotland. We received two boxes of these delectable canines, courtesy of Walkers, for our sampling pleasure.

                      Just add a steaming cup of tea...

Jim Walker, the managing director of Walkers Shortbread, says that "working with the ASPCA is a great way for us, as well as our customers, to show appreciation for animals...Over the next year, Walkers is dedicated to helping the ASPCA raise awareness of the issues of animal cruelty and homelessness and will support the valuable work they do for animals across the U.S." To that we say, "Bravo!"

Here's how you can help: For every purchase of the box or special gift tin of Scottie Dog shortbread cookies through 2012, Walkers will donate 10 cents to the ASPCA, with a minimum donation of $25,000! Why wait?  Why not stock up for gifts? Proceed to checkout right here to purchase both the boxes and tins: www.walkersus.com/product/Scottie_Dog_Shaped_Shortbread/23217.aspx

And just because Walkers loves dogs and dog bloggers, they're generously giving away a special gift tin brimming with delicious shortbread Scottie Dogs to one lucky winner here on Bocci's Beefs! Thank you, Walkers Shortbread.

                           Isn't this a charming gift tin?

Wednesday May 30th, through next Sunday June 10th at 8:00 pm EST, so you and all of your friends will have plenty of time to enter. The winner will be chosen by computerized random drawing and announced within 24 hours of the evening of June 10th.
