Specialty Pet Store Announces Holiday "Bad Pet!" Contest for Pet Owners

    COLUMBUS, OH, November 30, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- November 30, 2009 - Moochie & Co., a Columbus, Ohio based specialty pet retailer providing upscale products for dogs, cats, pet owners and pet owners' homes, announces launch of its holiday "Bad Pet!" contest that will give the winner a $100 gift card to one of Moochie & Co.'s stores or to use online. Participants can enter the viral contest via the Moochie & Co. Facebook page, where they share their pet's best "Bad Pet!" moment.

Moochie & Co. CEO Al Bell explains, "Maybe it was the kitten that decided to open the holiday gifts a little early. Maybe it was the dog that ate your Thanksgiving dinner- the dinner you spent hours preparing. Who knows, maybe your bird flew loose and made a mess on Great Aunt Sally at the holiday dinner. We know you have trained them well, but, nonetheless, they are pets - they misbehave. You may have been outraged at the time, but let's have a laugh about it now. Along with a laugh, we'd like to give the winner a $100 gift card to our pet store."

The unique contest sends participants to the Moochie & Co. Facebook page to submit their best "Bad Pet!" moment. Participants follow these steps to enter the contest:

• Post your story of your pet's "Bad Pet!" moment on the contest page.
• All stories posted on Facebook will be kept on page.
• People will decide to "Like" the stories they think demonstrate the best "Bad Pet!" story.
• Moochie & Co. will determine the winner based soley on the submission with the most "Likes."

The winner of Moochie & Co.'s "Bad Pet!" contest will receive a $100 gift card to be used at one of Moochie & Co.'s many pet store locations or online.
