Influencers, hold your horses. It appears dogs are the latest trend in the market, and man’s favourite furry friend seems to be taking to the social life quite well. According to a 2022 survey by ManyPets, two out of five people are more interested in social media content related to pets compared to that of actual people. This provides an interesting new opportunity to create content by showcasing your dog’s tricks online and attract companies potentially interested in marketing their offerings via “pet influencers”.
Here is a list of the top dog influencers who seem to be killing it on TikTok lately:
