Those cute, wet noses transform a regular walk round the block into a smellscape so rich, it perfectly whets the palate for main – new My Dog Home Recipe – the perfect way to share a meal with your canine connoisseur.

Says Dan Wright, executive creative director, Colenso BBDO: “Any opportunity to enrich humans’ understanding of their dogs is one worth taking. Understanding brings us closer together. It turns out, our dogs have been the real gastronomes all along. And since every second show on human telly is about food right now, it seems about time we acknowledged our furry foodies, and gave them a dinner to match their palate.”

The campaign launches with six films, three gourmet print ads, supporting social content and a sniffable menu. Yes, a scratch and sniff dogustation menu for your furry friend.

Says Cormac van den Hoofdakker, marketing manager – pet, Mars: “My Dog has always championed the shared mealtime experience that comes with close owner-dog relationships. So, ‘Canine connoisseurs’ is the perfect development for the brand. It’s taking this shared passion between owners and dogs to a new level, while embedding My Dog as the choice for owners who want the best for their best mate.”
