Giveaway: Paco Collars + Fetching Tags = Match made in heaven

by | Tuesday | April 12, 2011 | 112 comments

Contest is now closed! Winner will be announced on or before 4/30!

In honor of my Very Special Trip, I’m soooo excited to have a Very Special Giveaway this week courtesy of two fantastic companies that have joined forces: Paco Collars and Fetching Tags! If you’re familiar with either company, you know that both are handmade products with a high level of artistry and craftsmanship. This collar is seriously the bee’s knees.

Today’s giveaway reminds me of nothing more than that most wonderful of 80s commercials, the vintage Reeses Peanut Butter cup ads. Hey, you put a Paco Collar on my Fetching Tag! Hey, you put a Fetching Tag on my Paco Collar! Mmm? Oooooooh! Yummy!

So what are we giving away? Read on:

Fetching Tags and Paco Collars have joined forces to bring you a whole slew of id tag/collar options that are all equally beautiful and practical.  Custom rivet-on Fetching Tags are flawlessly incorporated into Paco Collars designs so now you can enjoy the convenience of a collar that can handle the day-to-day of your active dog without the extra noise of a hanging tag.  Both products are guaranteed for life, so you’ll enjoy the unique look and sensible function for years to come.

The process is easy.  First, choose a collar design, then decide which id info will be artfully stamped into the metal tags. Choices include dog’s name, phone number, clever tagline (pick from our favorites like Rub My Belly & Squirrel Patrol or create your own), or a combination of all three.  Each element is handcrafted and constructed to your specification.  And for those who like the concept but enjoy a simple look, check out the Double Agent collar where the identification serves as decoration.

So now, whether you enjoy that added touch of personalization or prefer to have your identification displayed in a practical way, we’ve got a solution for you!

One lucky winner chosen at random will receive a fully tricked out, personalized Paco Collar with custom name, phone & tagline plates. Retail value $150+.

If you do everything, you can get up to 8 chances to win. Here’s how to enter:
  1. Comment on the post below with your favorite Paco Collar. (worth 1 entry)
  2. Say howdy over at Paco Collars and/or Fetching Tags over on Facebook. (each worth 1 entry) Make sure you come back here and let me know you did it so I can count your entries.
  3. Enter the scavenger hunt! Because it’s a little more labor intensive, correct entries are worth a golden 5 entries! Send your answers to drv (at) pawcurious (dotcom) with the subject “Paco”. Please remember I’m out in the boonies, so if comments are slow to get approved don’t despair.
  • What is the name of the collar modeled by the bloodhound? Answer can be found at at Paco Collars.
  • Over at Fetching Tags, there is a very special dog modeling a very special pair of pants. Name the dog and the pants.
  • Name one type of animal that might be devouring me as we speak. The answer is here on the blog somewhere..

Good luck! I’m super jealous of you all! Contest open till midnight PST 4/24/11.

    I’d probably say the XDog Mini is my favorite, it’s hard to choose!!

    “Name one type of animal that might be devouring me as we speak. Answer here on the blog.”

    While crossing the Amazon river in a rickety boat, you might be devoured by a black caiman. Luckily, you will be saved by a Amazon Pink River Dolphin.

    What does it say about me, that of 8 possible ways to win a Paco Collar + Fetching Tag, I choose the disaster scenario? Enjoy your trip!

  • Jason

    I would say The Uba – Deluxe! Love the skull and crossbones! :)

  • Jason

    One type of animal that may be devouring you as we speak…
    I’m gonna go with an over-affectionate 8 month old german shorthair puppy…oh wait, that’s me! I’ll go with a kitty then! :)

  • Kayla D.

    I absolutely LOVE the the 1″ Celtic Collar!! These are awesome!!

    P.s. Said hi to Paco Collars & Fetching Tags on facebook!!

  • http://www.the7msnranch.com the 7msn ranch

    Oh my word. These collars are stunning. Smooch would simply strut if she were wearing one of those Double Agent models with a few Texas ranger stars and her “ranch security” moniker. I hope you realize if I don’t win this contest I’m going to have to spend $100 of my own money on one of these. Must. Have.

  • Jason

    Everything done and sent to you! Thank you!

  • http://www.the7msnranch.com the 7msn ranch

    I told you I wanted to win this…

    So I’ve “liked” Fetching Tags and Paco Collars on facebook and said nice things to them on their walls.
    And here are my scavenger hunt answers:
    1. Gladys is wearing the New Jojo model.
    2. Gladys is also modeling the raw milk pants – and that is the coolest idea/dog/video I’ve ever seen.
    3. I truly hope you won’t be devoured by a tarantula before you have a chance to pick a winner (me) in this contest.

I also visited Paco FB and Fetching Tags FB (2 of my kids have a fetching tag)I have four furry kids that would love to win, but they actually want to win for their sister (My mom’s dog). She is a tiny rescue with spinabifoda. She is doing quite well with much TLC from all of us! She only ways 2 lbs at four months old. She is half Chihuahua and half rat terrier. Something like the Milan Heart collar would look great and her name is Gracie.
    We also visited Fetching Tags FB and Paco Collars FB!

  • Katie R

    Awesome giveaway, I’m so excited to see whoever wins!
    My favorite collars are the Berlin and the XDog Deluxe. Can I have two favorites? It’s so hard to choose!! I also posted on both pages, I think I have in the past, to be honest, but now it’s fresh :]

    First, crocodiles (like the black caiman) are scary creatures (at least I think so), and they’re fast! I think we all hope that you don’t get devoured.

    On the Fetching Tags site Gladys was wearing Raw Milk Pants and the video was absolutely adorable. She also wears the New JoJo model Paco Collar.

    I think that’s all 8 and I hope you have a good trip!

  • Shawn Skeesick

    My favorite is the double agent collar. I dropped in on facebook to say hello to you all. Keep up all the good work!

  • Laura

    I love the Gunther, because it’s a great collar and because its namesake is a lightbulb head, and they rule rule. This would be for my big dog Rocky, and his tagline is “You gonna eat that?”

    Just said Hi to Paco Collars. One step closer to winning Rocky a Gunther Deluxe!

  • Laura

    Aaaaand commented on Fetching Tags fabulous “amost perfect” picture. C’mon Gunther Deluxe! :)
