We all have that one dog photo we love: an impossible sleeping position, a cheeky expression or that irresistible look before dinner. With the APPETTO dog photo contest, that moment can become part of something bigger. No pedigree, professional photographer or extraordinary trick is needed. We want to meet your dog as you know them.
Browse the other contestants, vote for your favourites and enjoy the stories behind the photos. Our dog photo contest is not about finding the most perfect animal. The details that make dogs unique are exactly what make them worth celebrating.

An Invoxia prize worth €219
This edition features an Invoxia BioTracker with one year of Max GPS, an announced prize worth €219. The device can help track activity, sleep and certain measurements at rest. Depending on the service, GPS functions can help locate your dog. It never replaces veterinary advice. Our separate Invoxia partnership article explains more.

Votes, rounds and ranking
The community can support favourites according to the rules shown in the app. Free votes are available subject to a waiting period, and the leaderboard changes during the rounds. Check APPETTO for dates, eligibility and qualification conditions rather than relying on old screenshots.
Frequently asked questions about our dog photo contest
Is entering free?
Yes. Entering your dog costs nothing and does not require Premium.
Where are the official rules?
All dates, voting conditions and eligibility requirements are in APPETTO’s Contest section.
How can I choose the best photo?
Choose a clear, well-lit picture that shows your dog’s real personality.
Can I vote for free?
Yes, free votes are available with a waiting period. Optional boosts may be offered.
Can I enter several dogs?
Consult the current edition rules for any limits per account or animal.
What if my dog doesn’t win?
You will still have shared a favourite moment and met other dogs in the community.
Does BioTracker replace a veterinarian?
No. It supplies observations, not a veterinary diagnosis.
Can any dog take part in the photo contest?
The idea is to celebrate dogs of every personality, not to reward pedigree certificates or professional photography. A mixed-breed companion, a curious puppy or a sleepy senior can all make wonderful subjects. What matters most is that you enter a real photo of your dog and respect the current rules. If you are unsure about age limits, country restrictions or eligibility, open the rules inside APPETTO before submitting your entry. Those details can depend on the edition and are more reliable there than in an article that may remain online for months.
What kind of dog picture works best?
Start by looking for a picture that immediately feels like your own dog. It might capture a familiar expression, an unexpected moment on a walk or the way they curl up on the sofa. Good natural light and a clear face will make it easier for other people to appreciate the photo. You do not need expensive equipment or dramatic editing. Try comparing your top three shots on a phone screen, because that is how many people will see the contestants. Pick the image you would happily send to a friend even if there were no prize.
How do I know whether entries are still open?
Open the Contest area in APPETTO and check the current stage. When entry is available, the interface provides a way to participate. As the competition moves through its rounds, the registration window can change or close. That is why we do not put a fixed deadline in this blog post. The information displayed inside the app is the up-to-date reference. You can still explore the contest even when a round is already underway, and you may discover some particularly memorable contestants while browsing.
How do I register my dog step by step?
First, open APPETTO and find Contest from the home screen. If registration is open, tap the Participate button. Follow the form, add the requested information and select a picture that clearly shows your dog. Review the details before sending them. The app will then indicate the outcome of your submission. You can find the terms and conditions in the same area. If you already use APPETTO for food analysis, this is simply another section of the app: you do not have to start a separate paid subscription or create an unrelated contest account.
No. Entry is free, and the APPETTO Premium subscription is not a condition for registering your dog. Premium serves other purposes within APPETTO, particularly its broader nutrition features. The contest has its own rules and may offer optional extras related to voting, but those are not the same as an entry fee. We make that distinction because joining should feel straightforward: choose your dog, add the details, submit the photo and enjoy the community. Read the voting interface carefully if you consider an optional paid feature.
How does the free voting system work?
Members can explore contestants and support their favourites. A free vote is available subject to the waiting period specified inside APPETTO, so casting a vote does not necessarily mean you can instantly cast another one. The app indicates when voting is possible again. Optional paid packs or boosts may also be displayed, but they are separate from free registration. The rules for voting, points and progression should always be checked in the current contest, because those details can matter during qualification and later rounds.
Can I vote for other dogs when my dog is entered?
The contest is also about discovering other companions. Browsing entries and supporting your favourites can be part of the fun, even when you are following your own dog’s progress. Just follow the voting conditions shown in APPETTO. We like the idea that an owner arrives to cheer on one particular dog and ends up remembering several others: the puppy who looks permanently surprised, the senior with the kind eyes or the energetic explorer photographed during a walk. This community aspect is what gives the contest life between one round and the next.
What is the fairest way to ask friends to support my dog?
Keep it personal rather than turning it into a marketing campaign. Share your favourite photograph with someone who already knows your dog, or post an occasional update explaining why the picture makes you smile. Invite people to explore the profile and decide whether they want to participate. There is no need to send constant reminders or make anyone feel obliged to vote. Authentic stories travel further than repetitive instructions. Always keep the contest rules in mind, particularly around votes and permitted sharing.
What happens after I send the registration form?
The app confirms the result of the registration process. If the submission is accepted, your dog becomes part of the current contest according to its entry conditions. You can then follow the competition and show the profile to friends or family. If something does not work, check whether registration is still available and whether the photo and required details have been supplied correctly. Do not assume that opening the form alone means registration succeeded. A completed and accepted entry is what matters.
How are finalists and winners chosen?
The competition includes successive rounds, and rankings evolve as the community casts votes under the current rules. Specific qualification thresholds, timing and final results are defined by the edition itself. It would be misleading to promise a particular route to victory in a permanent blog post, especially when those conditions could change. For the precise stage of your dog’s entry, check the leaderboard and information inside the app. Entering creates an opportunity, not a guarantee of reaching the final or receiving a prize.
Can I submit several dogs from the same family?
If you live with more than one dog, you may naturally want them all to have a moment in the spotlight. However, entry limits can depend on the rules of the current edition, including possible account or pet restrictions. Check those conditions before preparing multiple submissions. In the meantime, there is nothing wrong with taking a few minutes to select a favourite picture of each dog. Even choosing between their expressions is a pleasant reminder of how different their personalities can be.
Can I change the photograph later?
It is best to select a photo you are happy with before you confirm the form. Whether an entry can be edited later depends on the features and current state of the contest. A simple pre-submission check can save trouble: make sure your dog is clearly visible, the photo is not overly dark and you have selected the intended file. If you encounter a technical issue, refer to the options available in APPETTO or contact support. Avoid creating duplicate entries without checking what the rules permit.
Does my dog have to wear a costume?
No professional styling is required. An ordinary walk, a favourite toy or a funny sleeping position may tell a much better story than a complicated costume. Your dog’s comfort matters more than any picture. If you choose an accessory, make sure your dog is relaxed and safe, and never force a pose that causes distress. Natural photos are often the ones that owners cherish most. Follow the contest’s published image rules to make sure the photo is eligible.
What can the Invoxia BioTracker tell me?
The Invoxia BioTracker is designed to provide information about aspects of your dog’s routine, such as activity, rest and certain measurements taken at rest. Depending on the package and supported service, the GPS functionality can also contribute to location-related monitoring. It may help you notice trends that are worth discussing with a professional, but it does not diagnose health conditions. The award in this contest includes a year of Max GPS, with the combined prize advertised at €219. For product details, see our separate APPETTO and Invoxia partnership article.
Does the BioTracker replace veterinary advice?
No, and this point is important. Consumer tracking data may be useful context, but it is not a substitute for a physical examination or a veterinarian’s professional judgement. If your dog behaves unusually, seems unwell or develops symptoms, seek appropriate veterinary advice rather than relying on a gadget’s measurements. We chose to highlight a device that can encourage owners to pay attention to everyday patterns, not one that claims to replace medical care.
Why is an activity tracker part of an APPETTO contest?
APPETTO began by making pet nutrition easier to understand. But a dog’s daily life involves far more than the contents of their bowl: movement, sleep, play, walks and all the little routines that owners learn to recognise. The tracker prize reflects that wider picture. Invoxia’s product focuses on aspects of activity and monitoring, while APPETTO helps owners explore food and wellbeing information. A friendly dog photo contest connects those interests without requiring the competition itself to become a serious health challenge.
Is this competition only for experienced APPETTO users?
Not at all. If this is your first time hearing about APPETTO, you can download the app and visit Contest directly from its home screen. You can explore other profiles and the rules before deciding whether to register a dog. Later, if you wish, you can also discover how Pet-Score® helps explain ingredients and nutritional information, alongside the app’s other features. Joining the contest should not require mastering every part of APPETTO first.
Can I simply follow the competition without entering?
Yes. Sometimes it is more fun to look around first, discover the dogs and understand how the leaderboard works. You may find yourself voting for a favourite before you consider entering your own pet. If you do later decide to register, remember to check that the entry window is still open. A competition with multiple stages does not necessarily accept new contestants throughout its entire duration.
What if my dog does not win the €219 prize?
There is only a limited prize attached to this edition, so taking part cannot guarantee a win. But the experience can still be enjoyable: you get to share a picture you love, let other owners discover your companion and follow the different rounds together. You might even get new ideas for your next dog photo. We would much rather the contest remain a pleasant community experience than something that creates pressure on owners or their pets.
How do I make sure I have the right information?
Open the Contest section of APPETTO whenever you need current details. That is where to confirm the available registration period, the active round, the voting mechanism and the relevant rules. This article is intended to introduce the experience and answer common questions, but it does not replace the official rules presented in the application. If you are unsure about a specific condition, the edition’s terms take priority over general descriptions on the website.
Why APPETTO is celebrating dogs
APPETTO began with a simple question about what really goes into a dog’s bowl. Our Pet-Score® helps owners explore pet food, but sharing life with a dog is also about adventures, silly habits and photographs. This contest celebrates that side of being together.
Not every champion wears a medal
Find a photo that makes you smile, discover the contest and give your dog a chance to take part. Share the profile with people who would love to see it. Entering does not guarantee a win; the final result is governed by the contest rules.
