We know that you, our readers, love animals (especially pandas), but so do these advertisers – these companies and organizations have mastered the use of animals in their ads as a way to get people's attention.
To be fair, it's fairly difficult to think of an advertisement for a pet product or service that wouldn't involve an animal. But not all of these companies or organizations work with such services or products – some of them simply understand that humans share a special and emotional bond with animal life that helps make their advertisements more emotional and memorable.
After checking out this list, be sure to share any other excellent animal ads you've seen with us at the bottom of this post!
