Gus the Dog Influencer

nearly 9 years of experience as dog influencer and brand ambassadors

We specialize in commercial dog photography, videography, and content creation, capturing the personality and charm of your brand through our talented model, Gus. Our journey began with Riley, our original dog influencer who gained his wings in 2023. Since then, Gus has proudly carried on the torch.

Based in Canton, Georgia and serving metro Atlanta and clients nationwide, we regularly travel coast to coast for commercial pet photography. We’ve had the privilege of working with top-tier brands in the pet industry including PetSmart, VCA, Bond Vet, and several nationally recognized food and treat companies. Our work spans UGC, brand campaigns, and influencer marketing—crafted to resonate with real audiences.

Meet Gus, our highly trained and well-behaved spokesdog. He continues Riley’s legacy with his natural charm, reliability, and on-camera talent, making him the ideal model for pet-focused brands. Whether you need captivating lifestyle imagery or elevated product photography, Gus helps bring every concept to life with authenticity and heart.

With years of experience in the pet industry, we deliver exceptional commercial dog photography and videography designed to elevate your brand’s presence. From storytelling content to polished, high-end visuals, we ensure every detail is captured with precision, creativity, and genuine love for the work.

We come directly to your location to shoot products in their natural selling environment.

We shoot in meaningful, brand-relevant settings—whether that's a sunny park, our Airstream Basecamp, our cozy home, or any location that matches your vibe.
