Freebies and free stuff

The sign-up form for this free ADT pet window cling asks when the best time to call is. Too bad they don’t offer a “never” option. Luckily they accepted my submission of 555-555-5518. Why the 18 at the end? Well duh, it’s not like I want them to suspect it’s a fake number or anything.

Discovery Channel & Animal Planet have teamed up to offer free printable pet medication coupons that can be redeemed at participating vets. Only problem is I couldn’t find a master list of which vets are participating in the offer, so you know what that means! We now get to play a free game of “so, uh, I’ve got this coupon from the Internet which says I can get some, uh, free medication for Twiggles and…like…you know, do you accept this?” Ohhh, I’m already giddy with anticipation over the awkwardness of it all!

I’m struggling to find some decent freebies right now, but I did just come across this free $5 Eukanuba dog food coupon. I always do a double take when I see this brand name since it’s so close to my own last name, Eubanks. You’d think I’d learn to stop going, “wait, there’s a dog food named after me?” You’d be wrong.

Also, I’m gonna be posting a chance to win a few gift cards later on tonight. I’ve had enough of this darn freebie drought.

EDIT: This offer is now dead.

The free Purina Fancy Feast or Beggin’ Strips offer is back again, so if you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance. Just like before, you have to let the page load and then click on the blue banner to get to the signup page. And FYI, you don’t have to be a Sam’s Club member to get this.

I know some people claimed they couldn’t find the blue banner to click on last time, so here’s a picture of it. See, I’m not crazy, it’s really there!

Your reward for taking an eight question quiz is a printable $3.50 Purina coupon good for any of their cat or dog food. In addition, they’ll donate $1 to an animal welfare group in your community whenever you use the coupon.

I actually used to volunteer at my local group, but they recently asked me to stop coming. Apparently I was breaking some rules by bringing my dirty dishes and letting all the pets “clean” them for me. Hey, it’s not my fault my dishwasher was broken! Can you think of a better way to clean them, Mrs. Smartypants? Exactly, I didn’t think so.

EDIT: Some people in the comments are saying they’re having trouble signing up for the sample. If you’re in that boat, try using this link instead.

If you missed out on this offer last month, then today’s your lucky day as this free Rachael Ray Nutrish dog food offer is back. In fact, you can choose to either get a free sample or a coupon for $3.50 off a 6lb. bag. I’m just thankful I didn’t have to type out “yummo” at any point while making this post. Wait a minute…dang it!

EDIT: All samples are gone now!

In order to get this free Purina Fancy Feast or Beggin’ Strips, simply click the blue bar at the top of their page that says “give your pet a taste of Purina.” (if you have any ad-blocking software, you’ll have to disable it in order to see the banner.)

So if you have a cat and a dog, how do you decide which freebie to get? I tried explaining to my pets that they needed to fight in a Battle Royale to see which would prevail and be worthy of the freebie. Unfortunately, my cat just looked at me and then my dog started licking herself. I’m not sure those English lessons I’ve been paying for are working.

While filling out the form for this free Dogswell dog food, did anybody else get stumped by the question asking about their pet’s DOB? I have no idea when my dog was born. I can hardly even remember my own birthday. I think it was sometime in 2005. Maybe January?

Wait, am I talking about my dog or me? Great, now I have to go find my birth certificate again.

If you have or are thinking about getting a puppy, sign up for $10 in free Pedigree coupons. They sadly didn’t accept my rationale that young children are the same as puppies, but not for lack of protesting. They give you the option of printing the coupons or waiting on them to be mailed to you, which is a nice touch.

As a parting gift, I leave you with a quote from one of our generation’s greatest minds.

Homer: Well, crying isn’t gonna bring him back, unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dog come back — or you can go out there and find your dog.
Bart: You’re right! I’ll do it.
[Bart runs out the kitchen]
Homer: Rats. I almost had him eating dog food!

These free Better Than Ears dog treats bill themselves as a “soft & chewy pig ear alternative.” Um…what? Are my dogs eating pig ears behind my back? I’d like to think I’d notice any suspicious looking ears lying around my house. Are they sampling my ears every time they wake me up by licking me? Fantastic, now I’m paranoid of my own dogs.

While this free Mighty Dog citizen kit doesn’t explicitly state it’ll include some free coupons, my freebie sense tells me otherwise. At the very least, you’re guaranteed to get a free dog tag and citizenship papers. Best of luck training your pet to recite the Pledge of Allegiance though. It took me forever just to teach my dog that a well balanced diet does not include my shoes and baseballs.

EDIT: This is no longer available.

Walmart is giving away another batch of free Rachael Ray dog food like they did back in mid-January. My dogs absolutely loved it, as evident from the way they went into the pantry, pulled it down off the low shelf, and proceeded to eat the entire sample plus half the bag.

Well, this one’s dead, folks… That was a faaaaaaaaast one…

I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I’ll be honest. I didn’t care about either team or the commercials. Why? Because in this internet age, I can just watch all of the commercials online.

Besides, who needs to watch commercials when the greatest one of them all was the Meow Mix commercial. Don’t agree with me? Well the second you saw this post for the free Meow Mix Natural Goodness sample, didn’t you get the song stuck in your head?

And if not just then, well, just don’t click here or here…

Goob: Unfortunately this company contacted me and asked me to take down the link.

Seeing a dog can’t really read the book “Everyone Poops,” I guess the next best thing is to actually get a flushable poop baggie. And that’s where this free Flusheze pet waste bag comes in.

I’m not going to tell any more jokes. After two poop references? This whole post is just going down the crapper…

I’m not a fan of Rachael Ray. Give me Alton Brown or Morimoto or even Guy Fieri, but not Rachel. Heaven forbid Rachael Ray. Of course, Sandra Lee is almost as egregious when we’re talking about Food Network Chefs, but that’s beside the point.

Luckily for me, we don’t have a dog because if we did? I still wouldn’t order this free sample of Rachael Ray Nutrish Dog Food. Yup, my dog wouldn’t get a freebie because we’re a Rachael Ray Free household.
