2019 Contest
2019
Pomeranian Halloween Costume Contest
Thank you to everyone who joined in this year!
PetPom's 2019 Pomeranian Halloween Costume Contest Slideshow:
Before we get to the results, let's take a moment to appreciate every single Pom (and their human, of course) that participated this year. Each little guy and gal is so adorable in their own way and we are so thankful for the love and smiles that they brought to so many people.
Every Pom is a winner for their cuteness, their lovable personalities, and the joy that they helped spread.
The main purpose of this event is for everyone to have fun. And we believe it is 'mission accomplished!'. It's been truly wonderful hearing from so many of you that found this to be a terrific bonding experience with your Pomeranian. There were 92 entries this year and the cuteness factor was off the charts!
The Results:
We asked PetPom members to choose their favorites. Thank you to everyone who participated in this! It was clear from the votes (lots of close calls!) and the comments that it was not easy! The results have been tallied... and we are now happy to reveal the Poms that received the most votes. Please note:
We will be reaching out via email to these Poms' humans during this week so that they can choose their prizes!

The winner of Best Costume will win their choice of any 2 of 4 prizes.
The winners of Most Amusing Costume and Cutest Costumed Pom will have their choice of any 1 of 4 prizes.
The prizes options are:
#1: Musher's Secret Pet Paw Protection Wax
. This is beneficial all year-round, but is definitely a winter 'must have'! It protects a Pomeranian's paws in so many
ways: It stops 'snow-balling' (when snows melts between the toes, refreezes, and stretches the skin), adds a layer of protection from ice-melt products, road sand & salt, gives a dog much better traction on slippery surfaces, and helps keep paws properly moisturized when cold winter air can dry out skin.

If you're not using this on your Pom yet, it will certainly become your go-to bathing product once you see how incredible it is. This is ideal during the fall and winter when dry skin can be at its worst. It makes fur super luxurious and helps keep skin properly balanced. And, it will work to repair any split-ends and adds shine! Note that if your Pom tends to get smelly, you can opt for the Mediterranean Magic formula and if they have issues like a rash or hot spots you can choose the Tea Tree Oil and Aloe formula for immediate soothing relief.

. This is another product that's so helpful year-round but especially in the winter. It's a super-effective nose balm that'll protect your Pom's nose from harsh cold winds that can dry it out and cause chapping. Chapping only gets worse as a dog licks their nose, so this is one issue you'll want to stay ahead of. It's also ideal for healing/preventing dry noses, peeling, and even cracking.

Once Halloween is over, winter's right around the corner. And, those dark, cold and sometimes dreary days (sorry!) are a prime time for dogs to get bored. So, this is an awesome toy for when you and your Pom are stuck inside or when your little guy or gal is home alone. This fun toy turns on each time its nosed or pawed; it has blinking lights and it speaks! It's says 'Hello!', there's a silly whistle, funny banjo music, and more!
