Fi: Can you tell us about your journey to becoming a dog influencer? What inspired you to start sharing your dog's adventures on social media?
Casey's Human: I started Casey’s page as a way to share my favorite pictures of her. I, like a lot of dog parents, am obsessed with my dog and take a lot of photos. As our page slowly grew, it became a way for me to meet new people and travel to new places. It motivated me to get out of my comfort zone.
Fi: What do you think sets your dog apart from other dogs on social media? What makes them unique or particularly interesting to your followers?
Casey's Human: Casey’s tail, her sass and overall goofy personality. It’s currently pink but has been a couple of different colors. She was born deaf, but has been very vocal as she gets older. Her sass keeps us all on our toes. And brings a smile to our faces.

Fi: How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Casey's Human: I’m always trying to think of new places to take photos at to keep our feed interesting. I really try to plan it out as much as possible for the perfect shot. For many videos, she speaks for herself 😂 I get a lot of videos of her being funny or sassy. And it becomes easy to put that together. If I am showcasing a certain product, I also like to plan out what exactly I’m going for in my video and make sure that I keep it light, fun and informative.
Fi: Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Casey's Human: Every once in a while I get in a slump. Whether it’s because engagement on my posts isn’t doing well or life becomes so busy, I’ve lost motivation to post anything. It’s also very easy to negatively compare yourself to others. I have to remind myself, this is about Casey. It is supposed to be fun for me and her! And to just be myself. When this happens, I usually take Casey out on some sort of fun days like ice cream or a walk in the park.
Fi: What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Casey's Human: Be yourself. Be kind. And remember to have fun (you and your dog!)
Fi: Can you tell us about a particularly memorable or funny moment you've had with your dog during one of your photo shoots or adventures?
Casey's Human: I started Casey’s page as a way to share my favorite pictures of her. I, like a lot of dog parents, am obsessed with my dog and take a lot of photos. As our page slowly grew, it became a way for me to meet new people and travel to new places. It motivated me to get out of my comfort zone.
Fi: What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Casey's Human: My dog! I know that sounds silly, but she is why I do this. She is my favorite thing to photograph. And I love spoiling her with products from all the amazing brands we work with.
Fi: Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media?
Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Casey's Human: We will be traveling some more this year! I love sharing our photos and videos from the beach. Hoping to do some more giveaways in the future and continue to grow!

We hope that Julia and Casey's story has inspired you to appreciate your furry friend's unique personality and share it with the world! Being a dog influencer is a fun and rewarding experience, but it's important to prioritize our dogs' health and wellbeing as well.
Remember always to create positive, wholesome content that showcases your dog's individuality. And in the face of negativity, it's important to stand up for fellow dog lovers and keep the community positive.
