In France Frontline recently created an operation called # 1dosedamour, aiming to help abandoned animals dewormed. The “dose of love” is a donation that the brand promises to do, every time a person take a selfie with your pet.
The idea is simple: after making a selfie with a dog or cat, users just need to place it on the social networks with the hashtag #1dosedamour. The goal of the brand is to receive 10,000 selfies and donate 10 000 doses of Frontline between July and September.
