AppLovin ads for pet brands reach pet owners inside mobile games, and AppLovin has already published case pages from pet brands such as Wuffes and The Pets Table. WKND builds the portrait video, Interactive Page and catalog for each Creative Set, connects your product feed, and sets a ROAS or cost-per-purchaser goal from your margin.
The closest WKND proof we can publish today comes from a food and beverage CPG account, not a pet brand.
FOOD & BEVERAGE CPG BRAND · JANUARY 24 TO FEBRUARY 10, 2026 · $111/DAY → $12.9K/DAY IN 18 DAYS
This food and beverage CPG account grew daily spend from $111.12 on January 24 to $12,954.25 on February 10. Across the 18-day period, AppLovin reporting recorded $68,437.26 in spend, a 4.77% CTR, and 2.52x NC D28 ROAS.
Reporting shown is anonymized. ROAS figures are AppLovin Ads new-customer cohort metrics from the stated reporting windows. Platform attribution can differ from blended or incrementality measurement, and results vary by account.

For a pet store, plan four things: the offer, the video, the catalog and the claims.
Offer and goal. If you sell food, treats or supplements on replenishment, decide first whether you are paying for revenue or for new buyers. Pick ROAS when revenue is the target and CPP when the target is purchases. AppLovin's CEO lists subscription brands under cost per purchaser. If you sell autoship or subscribe-and-save, the CPP goal is worth testing; tie the number to contribution margin and CAC either way.
Video with the pet on screen. Every Creative Set needs a 9:16 video plus an Interactive Page. The video runs full screen, and AppLovin asks for a mix of lengths, including some of 30 seconds or more. Plan shots of the animal eating, playing or wearing the product, and add captions, since sound is often off. Interstitial video can be skipped after five seconds; rewarded video plays for up to 60 seconds.
Catalog by size, flavor and pet type. Dynamic Catalog pulls from your feed, so item and variant IDs, pricing, availability, images and product URLs must match. A missing field or stale feed shrinks what the engine can show.
Claims for pet supplements. Before submission, check that ads, claims, products, privacy disclosures and destinations can pass AppLovin review. Pet supplements count as health and wellness content, which AppLovin restricts: the account team must approve before ads serve, and ads may not make medical claims. Keep what the video says within what the landing page states, and we review both, plus the feed, before anything goes live.
If your products also sell through Amazon, retail or email, an AppLovin-attributed order may come from a buyer who would have converted anyway. Plan a geo holdout or an on/off test before spend begins, and compare incremental ROAS with breakeven, not with the platform figure.
They can: AppLovin has published case pages from pet brands, including Wuffes and The Pets Table, listed above. WKND's closest published proof is the food and beverage CPG account above. AppLovin traffic can be incremental, but attributed conversions alone do not prove it.
You still must create an account and pass AppLovin's advertiser verification and policy review. Approval depends on legitimate business information, compliant products, domains, landing pages, and ad assets. Pet supplements also need the account team's approval as restricted health and wellness content.
Use cost per purchaser when you want more new buyers for an autoship plan, and ROAS when order revenue is what you are paying for. Base the target on your margin and acquisition cost.
AppLovin's web advertising format combines three components in one full-screen experience: portrait video, an Interactive Page or image, and a Dynamic Catalog. Ads appear primarily in interstitial placements between game moments and rewarded placements that users choose to watch.
AppLovin says advertisers can launch with as little as $10 per day. That is a technical entry point, not a serious development budget for most growth-stage brands. WKND works with brands prepared to invest at least $500 per day so the engine can collect meaningful purchase data, test creative variation, and evaluate whether the channel can scale profitably. The $500 figure is WKND's qualification threshold, not an AppLovin platform minimum or a performance guarantee. WKND's ideal client already runs $10k+/day in paid spend with positive unit economics.
AppLovin Axon Ads isn't for everyone. Here's how to know if it's for you.
Brands that win
Not a fit (right now)
Blended MER is total revenue divided by total ad spend across every channel. AppLovin reports that 80% of web conversions happen within 24 hours of the click, which makes the platform number fast.
Treat platform ROAS as the engine's scorecard for its own optimization, and judge the channel on blended and incremental results. Our position is that no channel earns scaled budget on its own reporting, Axon included, and the brands that have scaled on Axon are the ones that tested first.
"Your team's attention to detail on the daily optimizations has been incredible" — Beau, The Bomb Co.
"You guys are the best agency we have ever worked with" — Nick, RP Diet
"Revenue jumped by 320% while cutting CAC by 43% in 60 Days." — Denise, Alala
