*Editor's Note: This article was originally published in 2019...but our love for our fur babies is timeless.

Your fur baby at home could be the next VIRAL way to market your salon and services on social media. Try adding a #salondog in one of your salon photos (with you or with your clients) to get more ♥๏ธ's and comments.

Whether it’s including service dogs, your client’s precious pups or your employee’s wonderful woofers, dog-friendly salons are more common than ever. Salons around the nation are posting their favorite Instagram-worthy moments with man’s best friend every day, especially to the #salondog hashtag, which has close to 17K posts already.

The posts below are cute and creative ways to show off your salon, services...and your #salondog. See how these stylists and owners included their own #salondogs into their salon environments  whether they're simply lounging on a salon chair; next to a cut and color; or by a retail area — there's all kind of ideas.

Here are some creative ways your cute canine can also be your salon's best marketing tool and official #salonmascot! 

1. Lounging like nobody's business!
