Who Won the Magic Valley 2025 Summer Pet Photo Contest?

The pet photo contests are easily the most adorable contests we do each year. How can you not love a dog covered in mud (as long as it isn’t in your house) or a pet on a paddleboard under the Perrine Bridge?

We had that and more in the finalist list for the Valley View Veterinary Clinic 2025 Summer Pet Photo Contest.

We do a few contests each year, so if you have a pet, get ready for the upcoming Halloween Pet Photo Contest and then the Christmas Pet Photo Contest.

We had a lot of great submissions this year for the pet photo contest, and some didn’t make the cut only for failure to follow the submission rules, like including people in the pictures, sending blurry pictures, or adding 'stickers' and graphics to the picture. These are the ones who did it right and deserve your votes.
