In the event that you entered a date of birth that would make the puppy too old, you will receive an email letting you know who to contact regarding this. Puppy’s must be born after September 4th 2022 to be considered valid.

If you selected the wrong store, simply let us know by contacting us on Facebook / Instagram with the name of your dog and the store you entered with. We will then delete your entry and advise you to enter again with the correct store.

Some image file types such as .heif are not accepted through Woobox. You will need to convert these to a .jpg or .png to submit successfully. As a quick fix, you can simply take a screenshot of your image and submit that instead.

We do not recommend that you submit a video instead of a picture as different aspects of the competition require photos only, including voting. Videos that are submitted will be screenshotted and this image may replace the original file.

Uncollected puppy packs will be held in-store until Sunday October 29th 2023. After this point they will be considered as donations and will be donated to our affiliated charities.
