PINTS, PETS, AND PURE PAW-TENTIAL!
Ever dreamed about your furball becoming the next big thing? Well, get ready for a tail (or fin)-wagging opportunity that goes beyond your wildest dreams — all for an amazing cause: helping animals and communities in need.
From March 3-17, 2025, Veterinarians Without Borders North America's Animals & Ales Pet Photo Contest is back with even more breweries and incredible prizes. By entering, you'll have the chance to submit your pet's photo for the chance to be featured on the label of a specially brewed beer, in partnership with one of 30+ totally pawe-some breweries across both Canada and the U.S. Pet owners just like you will have the chance to submit a photo of their pet, collect as many votes as possible from their family and friends ($1 = 1 vote*) and by doing so, raise critical funds for veterinary care and animal health programs to support animals and communities in need worldwide. The winning pet from each of our brewery partners will be featured on a label of their limited release bottles or cans.
*Full contest rules apply for Animals & Ales Pet Photo Contest Canada and Animals & Ales Pet Photo Contest U.S.A.
Even more great prizes!
Although there can only be one winner for each label, we've added some pretty sweet prizes for entrants who reach incredible fundraising milestones. Each milestone achieved will qualify the entrant for the correlated item(s); that means you could unlock four incredible prizes, as well as winning the label design!
