Do you have a cool photo of your pet?

MANILA, Philippines - It’s time to share your photos on Facebook, this time featuring your canine and feline friends. Capture your pets in their most adorable poses, upload them on the Bow & Wow contest home page, and win loads of quality pet goodies.

Bow & Wow provides just the stage for Facebook users to upload and share cute, funny, and endearing photos of their pets based on a given theme. To participate, simply visit the Bow & Wow contest homepage (http://apps.facebook.com/bowandwow/).

The Bow & Wow Petparazzi photo upload contest for dogs and cats got off to a kicking start. Eager pet owners uploaded great photos of their pet pooches and cats flashing their cutest smiles, in line with the theme, “Say woof or meow!” The next theme is “Chow Time,” which highlights pets enjoying their favorite meal or treat.

“We cooked up the contest because we understand that if you’re a pet parent, you’d want to show off your pet and participate in an activity that’ll allow you to bond with other pet parents,” Pam Suarez, Bow & Wow brand manager said.

Contest participants may join the upcoming contests with themes and see their furry friends in the Bow & Wow contest home page gallery. Featured pets who will receive the most number of votes may emerge among the big winners by end of September. The theme for Sept. 6-19, is “Perfectly Pampered” so photos uploaded must show pets being groomed, taking a bath, getting spa treatment, and so on. On Sept. 20 to 30, the special theme is “My Bow & Wow Day Out” which must show pets with their favorite Bow & Wow product. A photo of a pet in the Bow & Wow store will also be accepted as an entry.
