Is your green pet trick worth 10 grand?

Bissell Pet Games video contest

UPDATE: I won my round, and a Bissell Pet Hair Eraser vacuum cleaner that I'm holding a drawing for. Enter to win the vacuum by leaving a message on my Facebook wall by Friday, September 19th. You can also watch the winning video and the weekly winners at Animal Planet's website.

Calling all pet crusaders: I need your help!

Bissell and Animal Planet are running a pet trick video contest, and the stakes are high: $10,000 donated to the pet charity of your choice, a new vacuum, and a shot at being a TV star!

I'm already about as famous as I can stand, and I don't need a new vacuum, but it'd be pawsome to win a bunch of money I could use to test pet food. I bet it's not often they get submissions from the furry founder of an animal charity!

So last week I submitted my trick video with a green twist, and now I really need your help winning that $10,000 to keep my research going!

Here's how you can help:

Vote for my video!
  1. Go here to watch my video and vote for it! (It's titled "Eddy Green Pet Tricks" and it's at the bottom of the page. My name's misspelled, but I'm no diva.) You can vote one time each day, so please do--every vote will help me win this round to move on to the grand prize.
  2. Submit your own video showing you picking up garbage, planting a tree, carefully reading the ingredient labels on your pet food--whatever green pet trick you do best! You have until midnight on Thursday, August 14th.
  3. Comment on this post when you've submitted your video so I can keep track of all the green pets in the contest. I can't imagine us all losing but if we do, I'll still pick my favorite video and award the most talented furry friend with a special gift basket of safe and healthy pet supplies. More on that soon!

I'll keep you guys updated about the contest here on the blog and will let you know when the voting's open on your green pet tricks. I can't wait to see what you cook up!

Great tips! I loved the video -- you are very cute! I voted for you. Good luck!!!!

Hi Eddie, We're totally with you! I'm a human-type who does harp vibration therapy for animals--and in our house, Phantom and Frosty (gorgeous rescued kitties) got off the "evil cat food" 8 mths ago in favor of mostly organic. Thanks for uncovering the bad stuff so everyone's dogs and cats can get healthier! Love your site & can't wait to see you win the $10,000! "Doc", Phantom, & Frosty http://harpist1.tripod.com
