Built-in Instagram Amplification. No other platform has this.

When you publish an Instagram post as a dog brand, Dogfluence automatically matches it with dog creators who are likely to engage with it on Instagram. Their real comments, co-authoring, and storytelling dramatically boost your Instagram post performance — and compound your account health with every post you boost.

Traditional influencer platforms

  • Your Instagram post reaches existing followers only — zero new reach
  • Flat IG engagement — Instagram's algorithm sees no momentum
  • No creator matching for your Instagram content
  • Your Instagram account health stagnates between campaigns

With Dogfluence

  • Your Instagram post is matched with suitable dog creators
  • Creators comment and co-author on Instagram — real IG engagement from relevant profiles
  • Every boost dramatically improves your Instagram post performance
  • Continuous amplification compounds your Instagram account health over time

How Instagram Amplification works

You post as a brand

Publish your Instagram post as your brand. Activate a Boost to start amplification.

We match suitable creators

Dogfluence identifies creators in our network whose dog profile and audience fit your content best.

Creators engage, post soars

Real IG engagement from relevant dog profiles — boosting your reach, Instagram relevance score, and long-term account health.

GRIN, Upfluence, CreatorIQ, Modash — none have a built-in Instagram amplification layer. They help you find creators. We help you amplify every Instagram post you publish.

The dog-niche advantage

Built for dog products. Generic platforms weren't.

Generic influencer platforms have millions of creators but zero understanding of the pet industry. For dog brands, that gap creates real problems.

Typical platform sendout

  1. 1Find creator who posts about dogs
  2. 2DM: "What breed is your dog?"
  3. 3DM: "What size harness does your dog need?"
  4. 4DM: "Can you measure neck and chest girth?"
  5. 5Wait days for response. Repeat for every creator.
Hours of manual DMs per campaign

Dogfluence sendout

  1. 1Filter by breed, size, and product fit
  2. 2Send product. Done.
2 steps, zero guesswork

Every dog profile includes what product brands actually need

Neck Girth
For collars & bandanas
Chest Girth
For harnesses & jackets
Body Length
For coats & clothing
Health Data
Allergies & conditions

No other influencer platform captures product-fit measurements. For pet brands doing physical product sendouts, this eliminates size guessing entirely.
