What National Dog Photography Day Means to Us
Here at Johnson’s, we wholeheartedly believe that our pets are our family. Not only do they bring us joy and happiness, but they are companions for life. This is why we feel it’s important to give back to our fur babies where possible and recognise the valuable part they play in our lives.

Giving Back to The Nations Pets
We hope any dog owners, pet enthusiasts, photography enthusiasts, and all dog lovers feel somewhat inspired to post more photos of their dogs.
National Dog Photography Day is all about showing off your pet (guilt-free), and as a pet healthcare brand, it’s been very rewarding to see all the owners appreciating their pets as much as we do.
The competition small print
Every competition has to have rules and ours reflect the best practice of The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and their Advertising Guidance on Promotions with prizes (non-broadcast), the important bits of which are as follows:
Whilst there is no cost to enter the competition and no proof of purchase is required, there is no cash alternative to the prize of a Johnson’s flea treatment pet care hamper.
The competition is only open to pet owners living on the UK mainland. The photograph must be of a dog you currently own and not a strangers dog in the park, for instance. But if you believe your dog(s) is(are) really photogenic, there is no restriction to the number of times you can enter.
We will judge the competition and award the prize to the dog we think looks best, not necessarily the most handsome or with an astounding pedigree, just the dog in our eyes that has been photographed with an artistic eye.
If you’re pampered pooch wins our prize, we’ll notify you by email, within a week of the closing date – when we’ve had time to appraise all the photos.
We will announce the winner and post the winning picture on our website and across our social media channels, so please bear this in mind when taking your photos – no expensive cars in the background, with just your teacup Chihuahua to guard them!
By entering our competition you are transferring the copyright of the picture to us and understand we can use the photograph in future marketing for Johnson’s. However, we often need good looking dogs for our product packaging and we will contact you in future if we deem your dog appropriate to appear on product in pet shops across the country!
We hope that all makes sense, but if you have any concerns about the competition, the prize or how we might use a photo of your beloved pooch, please don’t enter. It will save a lot of worry for everyone.
