Dog Raffle Ideas

A dog raffle is a great way to raise money and awareness while raffling off useful and fun prizes. Though the raffle itself may be geared toward our canine companions, with a little creativity the event can be made fun and entertaining for dog owners as well.

  1. Food

    • Every dog needs to eat, but not every dog loves what they eat. Dogs can be finicky eaters and the better tasting, better-for-you dog food brands can really put a dent in the dog owner's wallet. A dog raffle is a fine opportunity to give away an expensive brand of dog food, hopefully pleasing both dog and owner. If the food is donated to the raffle, the manufacturer has achieved successful advertising and hopefully a new customer for life.

    Toys

    • According to HaveHappyDogs.com, dogs need three main things to be happy: love, discipline and exercise. Dogs will happily play well into their golden years, provided they are given the opportunity. A lot of toys will even help improve your dog's dental health, so load up your raffle with flavored balls, tug ropes and squeaky, stuffed animals.

    Grooming

    • Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. They also come with many different kinds of coats and needs. An essential part of dog ownership is maintaining your dog's healthy coat with regular brushing, nail trimming and flea and tick prevention. The annual cost of keeping your dog looking and feeling good can be staggering, so including some of the essential grooming items like brushes, nail clippers and flea medication will be a highly desired prize.

    Vouchers

    • Dog ownership expenses can be in the tens of thousands of dollars throughout the average lifespan of your best friend, according to PetEducation.com, so any freebie along the way is much appreciated. Getting local businesses involved with your raffle is a fantastic way to give away highly-valued vouchers for things like veterinary visits, day spas and even pet hotels for when the owner wants to have a dog-free vacation.
