Key Takeaways

- Contest runs from January 8 to January 24, 2025, with public voting for finalists.

Contest Details
The Chief Snuggle Officers contest is open for entries from January 8 to January 24, 2025. Pet owners can apply by visiting the contest website and submitting up to two photos of their puppy or kitten along with a brief explanation of why their pet is the perfect fit for the role. To qualify, puppies must be under 12 months old (or up to 24 months for large breeds), and kittens must also be under 12 months.
Responsibilities of Chief Snuggle Officers
The selected Chief Snuggle Officers will have the following responsibilities:
- Promote good nutrition and healthy growth for puppies and kittens.
- Inspire pet owners to provide the best care for their furry friends.
- Create a positive atmosphere through their adorable antics and cuddles.
Qualifications for Candidates
While no prior experience is required, the ideal candidates should possess the following qualities:
- A natural ability to be adorable on camera.
- Skills in providing quality snuggles (start time is negotiable).
- A talent for calming anxious humans with their cuteness and charm.
- Tail wagging or purring skills are a plus, but no additional training is necessary.
Voting Process
After the application period, three puppies and three kittens will be selected as finalists. From February 17 to March 3, 2025, the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite puppy and kitten. The winners will be announced in late March 2025. In addition to the cash prize for the CSOs, Purina will donate $25,000 to an animal shelter chosen by the voters, further supporting the pet community.
Importance of Proper Nutrition
Purina emphasizes the significance of proper nutrition during the critical early stages of a puppy's and kitten's life. According to Purina veterinarian Dr. Callie Harris, the first twelve months (or 24 months for larger breeds) are crucial for physical and mental development. Purina Puppy and Kitten Chow provides essential nutrients, including:
- Protein for muscle development.
- DHA for brain and vision health.
- Calcium for strong bones.
- Antioxidants to support a healthy immune system.
The Chief Snuggle Officers will serve as reminders for pet owners to prioritize nutrition and care, ensuring their pets lead long, healthy lives.
