Animals for Advertising

In advertising involving animals, success depends on balancing creative intent with logistical planning and animal welfare, rather than simply positioning an animal on set and starting the camera.

From risk assessments and set protocols to licensing requirements and behavioural planning, every detail must be carefully managed to protect both the production and animal/s involved.

These and many other reasons make it necessary to work with an experienced animal advertising agency, if you seek consistently good results without violating any ethical standards in your shoots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an animal talent agency actually handle?

An animal advertising agency like The Animal Talent Ltd will provide you with the animals you need for your project and we also do the work required to maintain the animals’ welfare and compliance requirements while on set.

It can be if it’s poorly planned. When behaviour, rest periods and environments are factored in early, shoots often run smoother than expected. Problems usually arise when animal needs are treated as an afterthought rather than as part of the production plan.

Yes. With appropriate planning and compliance measures, our animals can work safely alongside children and larger teams.

Usually, yes. Weather, sound, public access and unfamiliar smells all affect behaviour. That doesn’t make them unworkable, though; just something that needs forethought rather than improvisation.
