K9 Resorts Kicks Off “BARK Madness” Competition, Offering a $500 Gift Card to Winning Pet Parent
Leading Dog Boarding and Daycare Celebrates College Basketball with Canine Competition
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel is bringing the excitement of college basketball season to dog lovers everywhere with BARK Madness, a nationwide competition celebrating four-legged MVPs. From March 1st to March 23rd, pet parents across the country are invited to submit photos of their dogs for a chance to compete in a bracket-style showdown, ultimately vying for a $500 K9 Resorts gift card.
How it Works:
- Submit Your Dog: From March 1st to March 23rd, dog owners can enter by submitting their pet’s photos via QR codes, email and social media. Submissions are not exclusive to K9 Resorts members, everyone is invited to participate.
- Bracket Reveal: The top 16 dogs with the most votes will be selected and seeded, mirroring the Sweet Sixteen bracket. Each dog’s pairing with a competing college basketball team will be determined by the number of likes received – the higher the like count, the higher the seed.
- Matchups and Winners: As teams advance in the tournament, so do their corresponding canine counterparts. With each round, K9 Resorts will announce the winning “dog teams” until one pup is crowned champion.
- Grand Prize: The pet parent of the dog matched with the championship-winning team will score a $500 gift card to K9 Resorts.
“At K9 Resorts, we’re all about creating joyful experiences for dogs and their families,” says Dan Wheeler, Chief Marketing Officer of K9 Resorts. “BARK Madness is the perfect way to bring our communities together while celebrating the love we all have for our pets.
