We all know that feeling when our furry friend greets us at the door, curls up next to us for a movie night or even lends their paw when we have a bad day – it’s called love. Not only are pets our companions, they are members of the family who we love unconditionally. Just like sharing stories about our children, we all love sharing stories or “tails” about our furry friends and the love and laughter they bring to our lives.

Love Tail Contest

To celebrate the unconditional love between pets and their owners, Iams is launching its Love Tail Contest and calling on all Canadians to submit their everlasting love story with a photo that captures the strong, loving bond between pet parents and their pets.

Dig deep into your heart and share your pet love because winning submissions will have their love stories turned into “Love Tails” – short memorable videos that will run on the Iams social channels and will win one year’s supply of Iams food! What else?

The grand prize winner and their furry four-legged friend will star in the next national Iams advertising campaign!

How can you enter?

Share your “Love Tail”: Visit www.facebook.com/iams and submit a picture of your cat or dog and along with your Iams “love tail” story (500 characters or less) starting now through March 3. (Please Note to be considered: you must have used Iams in the last month and show this in your picture!)

What happens after you submit your “Love Tail” ? Once the submission phase is over, Iams will select 50 stories (25 dog and 25 cat) as semi-finalists. From the Love Tails semi-finalists, Iams will then select 10 finalists (5 dog and 5 cat) and each will win free Iams food for a year! Finally, in April, Iams will ask its Facebook fans to choose their favorite Love Tail from the group of finalists and one grand prize winner will be selected.

Our Love “Tails”

Long before children our dogs were our kids. We took them hiking, canoeing, camping everywhere we went. We had Buddy a golden retriever and still have Weiser a Husky Shepard. Weiser was much younger than Buddy and full of energy. Whenever we would go on nature walks Weiser would run up ahead so far we couldn’t see here, just like a child running ahead it never sat well with me. One day she ran so far ahead we called Buddy over to the bush and thought we would teach her a lesson. Just like a child they need to be taught. The 3 of us (Buddy was game) hid in a bush. It was so cute as Buddy snuggled up to teach his big sister a little lesson. Weiser ran back and was very upset it took her a few seconds before her nose lead her to us. But she never ran out of sight again, and just like our children she learned her lesson. 

What’s your Love “Tails” ?
