Premium dry dog food brands that use influencers

A handful do, and most of them pay for a named segment on a sports or hunting show. Open Farm is the exception, with 33 YouTube videos on 15 channels and a creator's own discount code in 21 of them.

Open Farm books vloggers with a dog

Open Farm books lifestyle vloggers more than pet channels.

  • Sophia Chang, a lifestyle vlogger with 912,000 subscribers, made 5 from July 2021 to January 2022.
  • Michelle Choi, 2,350,000 subscribers, made 4 between June 2021 and November 2025. The first, Living Alone Diaries, has 973,218 views.
  • The Husky Fam made 4 short videos tagged as Open Farm partner posts, with 21,987,646 views between them. My dogs cozy movie night routine has 14,886,726 on its own.

What a dry food brand can take from this

  1. Put a code on every segment. With a presented by line and a link alone, it is hard to tell which show sold.
  2. Go where the dog works. Pro Plan and Eukanuba sell sporting food on hunting shows.
  3. Book vloggers whose dog is already in the video, the way Open Farm does.
  4. Stay a season. Pro Plan kept its segment from September to December 2023.
