Today we got the honor of interviewing Elvia Reyes. You can find a direct link to their Instagram here.
Here is their story:
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?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: It all started in 2020 when the pandemic started. I figured if my dogs brought me joy during this hard time, they might bring joy to someone else in the world. We had one video go viral and we decided there was a whole dog community out there that started to support us and loved our videos.
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?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: We have two bulldogs and a bullador, their personalities are so different. Two of them are so chill and the bullador is something else and I think people love seeing how different but alike they are, because they’re still dogs and best friends. I think we try to show kindness and what life is like having three dogs, which is far from perfect.
Fi: How do you come up with ideas for your dog's posts and content? Do you have a specific creative process?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: I do a lot of research around dogs, we do a lot of funny videos but also educational videos.
Fi: Have you ever faced any challenges or negativity on social media, and how have you dealt with it?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: Most of our friends on social are amazing and love our dogs but, every now and then we do get hate comments around our dogs weight ( they’re bulldogs) but we try to ignore them, we realize that not everyone will like our content and that’s ok.
Fi: What advice would you give to someone who wants to start their own dog influencer account or share their dog on social media?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: Just start! Don’t wait till you have a great amazing Idea, start posting real content be yourself and people will love you.
Fi: How has your dog influenced your life outside of social media? Our dogs make us better people every day.
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: They have been there for us like no one else has, they have thought us what real love is without asking anything in return. People ask, “ How did you train them to be so kind and loving?” We love them and respect them like they love and respect us. There’s really no other way to train a dog but with love and respect. We strive every day to be the people our dogs think we are.
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?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: It all started in 2020 when the pandemic started. I figured if my dogs brought me joy during this hard time, they might bring joy to someone else in the world.
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: We had one video go viral and we decided there was a whole dog community out there that started to support us and loved our videos.
Fi: What is your favorite thing about being a dog influencer?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: The funny moments and memories we keep every day.
Fi: Lastly, what's next for you and your dog on social media? Any exciting plans or projects in the works?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: We are working hard! thankfully this year we are packed with collaborations and UGC dog videos for brands. We have to pay the vet bills and dog food lol
Fi: How have you used the info from step, sleep or strain tracking for your dog?
Luna, Loly, Yoyo's Human: This information has been really helpful because this way we can figure out if our dogs are getting sick or something, our dogs are not as active when they’re sick so depending on their steps or sleep we can see if they are having some health problems.
We hope you haven’t had to use the lost dog mode, but if you have, what happened and how did Fi help?
Thankfully we haven’t had to use it, but just knowing that is there give us peace of mind.
We hope that Elvia Reyes'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. We hope that reading about Elvia Reyes's journey as a dog influencer has made you smile and reminded you of the special bond between us and our beloved pets.
