BC SPCA contest wants to make your pet a Yellow Dog Brewing star!

September 3, 2025

Your pet could be the face of their very own beer label, all thanks to the BC SPCA’s popular Make My Pet a Yellow Dog Brewing Star contest! From September 3 through 21, the BC SPCA, in partnership with Yellow Dog Brewing, is giving four animal lovers the chance to win their cat, dog or other pet a starring feature on a special edition beer sold across the province.

Devoted pet parents will earn votes by raising much needed funds for the BC SPCA, uniting their friends and family for a worthy cause. “Whether you’re celebrating a special pet by your side right now, or honouring the memory of a cherished animal, it’s such a meaningful way to show appreciation for these companions who bring joy to our lives,” says Alina Wilson, senior officer, digital giving, BC SPCA.

The three animal entries with the most votes will star on a can in a four-pack of limited-edition Yellow Dog Brewing Beer (one pet per can). The final spot will be awarded through a draw for all entries who receive 150 votes or more.
The winners and three runners-up will also receive a pair of custom glasses with their pet’s face on them in artistic full colour, digital artwork of their pet’s face, Yellow Dog Brewing beer gift cards and other rewards.

Gus and King Buddy, two of last year’s winners.

“The contest brings together not only a committed community of pet parents, but also their animal loving friends and family,” says Melinda Coghill, founder and owner of Yellow Dog Brewing. “And the best part is that every vote for a favourite pet is also a helping hand for an animal when they need it the most – whether they are facing hunger, pain, loneliness or fear. We’re so excited to see who participates, and which amazing animals will be featured on this year’s beer!”

The contest beer will be sold across the province. Funds from the contest support the work of the BC SPCA and will go towards providing rescue, shelter, medical care, spay and neuter services, adoption, advocacy and educational programs to assist animals in need.

The contest starts on September 3 and ends on September 21 at 8 p.m. PDT and is open to people ages 19+. For full contest details, visit the Make My Pet a Yellow Dog Brewing Star contest website.
