The PEDIGREE® DENTASTIX™ Brand Introduces The SelfieSTIX™ Clip And DENTASTIX™ Studios
Capturing the Perfect Pet Selfie is now easier - and more fun - than Ever
FRANKLIN, Tenn., June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pet parents love taking photos with their dogs. In fact, 65% of dog owners take more photos of their dog than their significant other or friends, according to a recent trend report by Rover.com. Capturing that perfect photo isn't always easy, so the PEDIGREE® DENTASTIX™ brand created the SelfieSTIX™ clip to give pet parents a tool to create flawless selfies with their pups. It's the latest initiative from the brand to bring dogs and their owners closer together.
SelfieSTIX is a small plastic clip, designed to hold a PEDIGREE DENTASTIX treat, and was created by the brand's partner agency, Colenso BBDO in New Zealand. Simply clip the treat to the top of any smartphone. The pup will be fixated on the delicious treat, and pet parents will be able to snap the perfect picture every time. Plus, the oral care treat helps promote fresh breath, allowing owners to enjoy a moment of closeness with their dog – both physically and emotionally. The SelfieSTIX clip will be included with the purchase of select PEDIGREE DENTASTIX treats at Target locations across the country, while supplies last.
"We can all relate to that desire of wanting the perfect photo with your pet and ultimately having to compromise, despite your best efforts," said Rafael Blanco, PEDIGREE DENTASTIX Brand Manager. "The SelfieSTIX clip is a fun way to help pet parents capture that moment on their phone, while also creating a lasting, bonding experience that brings pets and their owners even closer. As an added bonus, the dog is rewarded with a delicious PEDIGREE DENTASTIX treat, which tastes great and cleans their teeth."
Building upon the innovative platform of the SelfieSTIX clip, and to help pet parents get even closer to their pups, the brand introduced DENTASTIX™ Studios, a cutting-edge social media platform for dogs. The mobile app, available in the App Store and Google Play, combines new technology and product integration to create a first-of-its-kind experience for dogs and their owners. The three tools that are offered in the app include PupBooth, which allows users to add 3D filters to their dog's face; DogDays, which helps owners track the lives of their dog and watch their dog grow; and GoodLens, which gives users a glimpse into the world their dog sees, by transforming a PEDIGREE DENTASTIX treat into an array of magical objects such as a magic wand or an electric guitar.
To support the launch of the SelfieSTIX clip, the brand partnered with Ian Harding and Danielle Jonas to show their social communities how they use the SelfieSTIX clip to snap the perfect selfies with their four-legged friends. In addition, the SelfieSTIX clip will be promoted via online videos on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.
PEDIGREE DENTASTIX treats provide the oral care support that dogs need for clean teeth and fresh breath. They clean down to the gum line to promote healthy gums, freshen breath and reduce tartar buildup, and the chewy texture helps scrape away plaque while chewing to help clean hard-to-reach teeth.
