Tag your dog's account if they have one. If they don't, this is your sign to make one. Pet accounts grow 3x faster than human ones in the same niche.

Frequently asked

Should I make an Instagram account for my dog?

Yes. Pet accounts have lower competition, higher engagement rates, and the algorithm treats them like influencers from day one. Plus, it keeps your main account from becoming 'just a dog account by accident.'
