Who can enter?

Any legal U.S. resident who is 18 years of age or older at the time of entry and has Internet access as of December 31, 2007, may enter.

How do I enter?

Visit petfinder.com/pamperyourpet to access the Sweepstakes entry page. Complete and submit the online entry form. Completed entries must be received by 11:59:59 PM ET on the last day of the Entry Period to be included in that Entry Period’s random drawing. You must enter during each Entry Period to be considered in each Random Drawing, as entries from one Entry Period do not carry over to subsequent Entry Periods, nor will they be included in any subsequent random drawings.

How often may I enter?

There is a limit of one entry per person/email address per day.

What are the prizes?

Each Entry Period will award the following prizes:
  • Five Grand Prizes. Each Grand Prize winner will receive $1,000 cash, to be awarded as a check.
  • Five thousand First Prizes. Each First Prize winner will receive an Oust® Air Sanitizer coupon good for free product up to a total of $3.49.

When and how will the winners be selected?

Winners will be chosen via random drawing on the Random Drawing dates listed in the above chart.

How will I know if I’ve won?

The winners will be contacted by mail after the random drawing. If you’d like to know who won, just mail a self-addressed, stamped envelope to be received by July 31, 2008, to: Petfinder Pamper Your Pet Sweepstakes Winner List, PMI Station, PO Box 750, Southbury, CT 06488-0750.

What are my chances of winning?

Your chances of winning a prize will depend on the total number of eligible entries received for each drawing.

By entering the Sweepstakes will I automatically win something?

No, when you enter, you are entering for a chance to win a prize.

I have a friend who wants to enter. Can he or she still participate even though the Sweepstakes has already started?

Yes! Your friend may enter once a day at petfinder.com/pamperyourpet through June 30, 2008.

How many people can enter the Sweepstakes?

The Sweepstakes has an ongoing registration, so it is difficult to say, but there is no maximum number.

Why is the Sweepstakes available only to U.S. residents?

Different rules and regulations associated with games of chance in other countries make it difficult to administer Sweepstakes and games outside the United States.

What should I do if I can't reach the Sweepstakes Web pages when I try to visit?

Come back and try again another time! Many Internet sites experience "traffic jams" from time to time. Refreshing the page may help. However, if you have problems connecting to all Web sites, contact your system administrator; you may have a problem at your end.

I'm having trouble entering the Sweepstakes. My computer seems to be too slow or times out repeatedly. What should I do?

From time to time, the Internet experiences heavy periods of traffic. The slowdown in the registration process is often caused by a large number of consumers trying to register for the Sweepstakes at the same time. If you are experiencing "time-outs" while trying to register, we suggest that you wait a few minutes or try again at a later time.

I'm a Macintosh user. Will I have trouble entering the Sweepstakes?

No, the Sweepstakes is equally accessible through Macs and PCs.

Where can I send feedback about the Sweepstakes?

You can send general feedback and suggestions to online_Sweepstakes@discovery.com.

What if I have read all of the FAQs and I’m still having a problem entering?

If you are still encountering difficulties entering, you can send an e-mail to online_Sweepstakes@discovery.com to inform us of your questions.
