These peculiar pet campaigns are showcasing animals in all sorts of strange and unusual settings, providing a curiously shocking image that viewers will surely remember.
While pet food campaigns and animal services are often promoted by showcasing their advantages or popularity, these peculiar and unorthodox print ads and commercials are utilizing much more abstract techniques to engage viewers.

From personified pooch campaigns to chip-gripping canine commercials, these peculiar pet campaigns are showcasing these cute and cuddly creatures in a variety of unique and unusual circumstances that will surely catch a viewer's attention.
