WAYLON
IAMS - WAYLON
59% of America’s dogs are overweight. It causes health issues which prevent them from doing what they love, and shortens their lives.
So on Thanksgiving, America’s national day of overeating, IAMS put dog obesity in the spotlight by hijacking the Thanksgiving Day parade. A dog balloon was so overweight it got stuck between two skyscrapers and couldn’t join the others.
The balloon was based on a real US dog called Waylon, who IAMS helped to lose weight.
