Making a pet highlight people rewatch
Pet circles are among the most replayed on any profile. A few habits keep yours easy to enjoy.
Shoot at eye level
A photo taken from your pet's height feels intimate. It also makes a stronger cover than a view from above.
Keep clips short
Three to six seconds of a wagging tail beats thirty seconds of waiting. Trim before you post.
Log the milestones
First day home, first birthday and first trip each earn a circle. Add the date in the story text.

Getting more from these captions
Put the pet's name first
'Bruno Days' is easier to remember than 'dog', and followers then start asking about Bruno.
Shoot at eye level
Get down to your pet's height. Covers taken at eye level look warmer and more personal.
Keep the videos short
A five-second clip of a funny moment keeps viewers on your highlight all the way through.
Keep a health and vet circle private
Vet visits and vaccination records are useful for you but dull for most followers. Save them elsewhere and keep the public row cheerful.
Questions
Should I make one highlight per pet?
If you have more than one, yes. A single circle with mixed pets can confuse viewers.
Can I tag a pet's account?
Many pets have their own profiles. Tagging them inside stories can bring replies from other pet owners.
Is it safe to show my pet's name and place?
A first name is fine. Avoid showing your door number or the walk route in real time.
What if I have several pets?
Give each its own highlight with its name, and add a shared 'Together' circle for the group.
What are good cover photos for pets?
A clear face looking at the camera, in even daylight, works best. Avoid busy backgrounds that hide the animal inside the small circle.
How do I name a highlight after a pet who has passed?
A plain name and a year, like Bruno 2012 to 2026, is gentle and clear. Add a photo you love and a single line of thanks.
Can I use the pet's nickname as the highlight name?
Yes, a nickname is often more fun than the full name. Followers who know your pet will recognise it at once.
Can I add my pet's birthday to the highlight?
Yes. A circle with the date and a photo of a treat or a hat is a favourite, and it gives you something to add to every year.
