SUMMARY
Competition in the dog food category was ruff. And at Walmart, Dog Chow’s biggest retailer, Dog Chow was losing ground to whichever food was on sale. So how could the brand that’s made in America win back its shoppers without reducing its price? By diving deep into the hearts and minds of middle America. Our Salute to Service Dogs campaign turned a Dog Chow purchase into a way for Walmart shoppers to “salute” the service dogs that support our communities, growing sales and building loyalty all along the way.
