Abstract

With the development of social networks like Instagram, creating an account for your dog has become common. These canine accounts are successful, as dogs are seen as endearing, fun and are a source of well-being for people. Advertisers hope that this pet will attract users' attention and, through various cognitive and affective mechanisms, increase the effectiveness of communication. In this experimental study carried out on Instagram (n = 374), we aim to compare the effect produced by posts generated by a canine account versus a human account, according to the congruence of the product with the staged actor and with the situation. We show that it might be worthwhile for advertisers to use dogs on social networks and we identify certain conditions of effectiveness.
