Lucky you, for living in a city that boasts dog trainers who want to make your pet a star and advertising agencies that specialize in animals for advertising!

You could attend one of Bash Dibra’s Make Your Pet A Star workshops (although it is hard to tell when and where these workshops take place via the website). You could also check out his book, Star Pet, and make your pet a star-DIY style.

There are a few agencies that might think your kitty has what it takes to sell cat food, or better yet, cattails for FTD or 1-800-Flowers. Perhaps your dog really loves her cushy bed and would look good in a Drs. Foster & Smith catalog, or in a sprinkler commercial during the dog days of summer…

From our research, however, you probably need to know someone at a company in need of a pet for their photo spreads (like our friend Maggie the Golden Retriever and her owner, Michael), but if you want to be proactive about employing your pet, try Animals for Advertising, Inc. or All Creatures Great & Small.

(Note: Be certain your pet is well behaved, as these agencies are wary of pets they don’t know).

Let NYCityPets know if you have any luck with animal advertising in any capacity…we need the pooch to kick in and pay a little for all those stuffed toys she destroys in milliseconds!
