As research conducted by Barkpost shows that owners post about their dogs on social media six times per week, Chuckit! is giving pet parents the opportunity to put their pet posts and pho-dog-graphy skills to the test once again with the return of the pupular Chuckit! Challenge competition. In a pawsome new twist for 2018 though, the brand is this time enlisting the help of some of the internet’s most influential furry faces.

Drawing great paw-ticipation from dog owners across the UK in 2016 and 2017 with over 1,000 total entries to date, the brand is this year looking to exceed its number of entrants again, while once again offering a host of fetch-tastic prizes. Courtesy of Forest Holidays, the crowned canine will get the chance to put their paws up and relax in a luxury log cabin on their £1,000 dog-friendly holiday in their chosen UK location.

Will Baggaley, UK brand manager for Chuckit! comments: “After the success of the Chuckit! Challenge in the last two years, we wanted to give our fans another opportunity to take part in the competition, and this time show off their dog’s skills in front of an amazing panel of hand-picked judges.”

This year, dog owners will have until the Summer to submit their dog’s most impressive action shots with their favourite Chuckit! toys to the brand’s Facebook and Twitter pages, using the hashtag #ChuckitChallenge. From there, entries will be judged by a selection of pet industry and social media pupstars, who hold an impressive combined social following of over 60,000: Finn for Change, the West Midlands Fire Dogs, Kim O’Meara from K9 Magazine, Dogs on Adventures and Bertie Lakeland.

TV favourite, pet influencer and veteran police dog hero, Finn for Change boasts an impressive 17,000 social media followers and is no stranger to being on camera with recent stints on National TV.

Owner Dave has revealed what he is looking for in the winning shot from this year’s canine competitors: “We are thrilled to have been asked to be on the judging panel for this year’s Chuckit! Challenge as myself and Finn are huge fans of Chuckit!. Finn likes to think of himself as the ultimate Chuckit! enthusiast, so we definitely know what we are looking out for and hope to see some creative and high energy shots of dogs who look like they are really enjoying themselves!”
