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

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

Hours of manual DMs per campaign

Dogfluence sendout

1Filter by breed, size, and product fit
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.

Ambassadors

Keep the creators who deliver.

Every creator you have worked with stays in one place, with their content and collabs side by side, so you can work with your best ones again.

Run a collab

Work with a creator through a campaign or directly.

Add them as an ambassador

One click after a finished collab adds them to your list.

See their work together

The content they made for you and every collab, side by side.

Work with them again
