Yes I'm serious. Even your pet could win contests for you. Granted some of these contests are for prizes for your pet so they don't really have to do anything, but other contests ask for photos of your pet and may the cutest dog, cat, parakeet, gerbil, goldfish, etc. win. Even though some of these contests ask for pictures of your cutest creature, they still might do a random draw so even if you have the ugliest mutt out there, enter him because he might win! And then he'll/you'll be famous.
Paw Print Shop has an ongoing contest where you can win trendy designer pet products for your pampered pet. From the looks of it, all you have to do is sign up for the contest – no hard work required. Don't you just love ongoing contests? Great American Photo will give a winner one thousand dollars for their pet photo. And then there's other ongoing contests such as the National Pet Pharmacy that gives away flea and tick products weekly. The great things about these ongoing contests is that generally you just enter once and go on with your life. This helps you in two ways: first you don't have to enter daily and therefore can look for other contests and second, everyone has the same chance of winning.
