Target audience: pet owners

Media: poster adshel, social media, press.

Who is involved: pet owners, dogs, vets, word-of-mouth. Anxiety for dogs and owners.

Tone of voice may change for different dogs too, for example a poodle might be a french accent, or very posh (stereotypes). English Bulldog might be very traditional and patriotic. Could do an advert involving different dogs and their stereotypes. 

Behaviour of dogs, do they have habits? Sleeping on the floor rather than their bed. May not like it if you take them somewhere else for their walk. They like having their dinner at the same time everyday. 

The world is your oyster.
