The Chilean advertising agency Prolam Y&R has developed a series of poster ads for the NutriPro dog food.

The posters for the NutriPro dog food include the tagline, "Life's hard when you're a [fat dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omni-leanpaws)," and shows an overweight and sullen pooch watching his fellow canines get it on.

The idea runs along the same line as those used in [human diet food advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cravings-im-crushin-it), offering you (and now your pooch) a more fulfilled and less bulky lifestyle. If your dog is fat, he won't be gettin' any!
