BISSELL MVP Pet Photo Contest
BISSELL’s annual Most Valuable Pet (MVP) contest is under way. Now in its third year, the 2010 BISSELL MVP Contest invites pet parents to submit photos of their furry friends for a chance at the title of Most Valuable Pet. Entries are open from January 1 – March 25, 2010, with prizes to include the chance to feature on BISSELL pet product packaging, a $10,000 donation to the pet charity of choice and a “Perfect For You And Your Pet” $500 shopping spree, courtesy of BISSELL. Be sure to visit the website to learn more and enter your pet.
The top voted pet from each week of the contest will move on to the semi-finals, from which the grand-prize and second through fifth prize winners will be selected. BISSELL will be announcing the weekly winners and offering exclusive contest news through Twitter and Facebook. To help pet parents garner votes for their photogenic pets, BISSELL created a series of custom widgets that can be uploaded to blogs and social networks such as Facebook, helping to win votes and the hearts of the pet’s family and friends.
The 2009 BISSELL MVP grand prize winner, golden retriever Norman, is a breeder for a Columbus, OH service dog program – 4 Paws For Ability. He and his owner, Tara Driscoll, used the $10,000 prize to obtain a seizure dog to assist two special needs children in their community. Tara, a substitute teacher in the local school system, taught the pair of brothers at their special needs preschool, and has remained in touch with the family as they’ve grown. Now ages six and eight, the boys have been in need of a seizure dog for several years, but the cost of their medication has hindered them from obtaining one. Thanks to Tara and Norman, they now have an additional four paws to assist them!
So, if you have an adorable pet, be sure to enter them in the BISSELL MVP photo contest to win something great for you, and your favorite animal charity! And if want to send some votes our way during the current voting period, please come vote for Baby the Maltese using the button below! Thanks!

The fact that in this Week 12 voting period the dog that won was obviously cheeting. The people used computers advanced tech to do the 500 votes in 1 hour and the saddest part is Bissell didn’t do a darn thing about it. The animals who should have won and came in the top 5 didn’t even get anything. This is a scam and I will no longer purchase a Bissell Product. I work for a cleaning company so loosing my business means loosing my and other companies business.
The contest is pathetic. I entered my dog into the contest, thinking that it would be a fun way to see if my dog would even come close… it turns out that most everyone is cheating. I logged onto the account around 1:30 in the morning (an hour and a half after voting started) and there were dogs who already had twenty votes. All it seems you need for a winning chance is a lot of email accounts… or the time to make a lot of them. Where’s the fun in that? Besides – I thought the contest was for a pet ‘model,’ not history. Many people are posting their dogs ’sob’ story right beneath the dog’s name. It seems like a cheap-shot and an easy way to get votes for ugly dogs. Yes, there are a lot of cute dogs, but come on, some of it is completely ridiculous.
