Aug. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Nylabone UK is launching a ‘Make Us Smile’ Facebook competition, inviting users to share video clips of their dogs demonstrating their individual ‘canine character’ that makes them one of a kind and brings a smile to the face of their owner and others!

The winning entry will become the Nylabone UK Face of Facebook – featured as the mascot for the Nylabone UK Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/nylabone.uk) for 2011/12 as well as being given product previews and a chance to test products before they come to market for one year. There will also be prizes for shortlisted entries.

The competition takes place in September in support of Pet Smile Month. Facebook users can enter the competition by submitting a YouTube video link to the Nylabone UK Facebook page at www.facebook.com/nylabone.uk.

The clip will be judged on three factors:

-   how well the clip captures the dog’s personality
-   demonstration of a happy, healthy dog
-   the extent they can say it ‘Makes Us Smile’.

Facebook users are encouraged to vote for their favourite clips, then the shortlisted finalists will be judged by representatives from Nylabone UK, PetPlanet.co.uk, leading pet charity The Blue Cross, Vet Practice of the Year 2011 – Emerson’s Green Veterinary Surgery and Pet Smile Month organiser, Bob Partridge.

Pet Smile Month aims to increase the awareness of the importance of dental disease and the harm that it does to our pets, as well as to encourage better dental care (both treatment and prevention) and thus to improve the health and well being of our pets.

The competition starts on September 1, 2011 and the lucky winner will be announced on September 28, 2011.
