what training do pet models have?

All soona pet models undergo a test shoot to ensure quality photos and direction can be taken. Dog models have basic obedience training (sit, stay, lay down) and cats have the proper temperaments to make a shoot successful.If your goals require tricks or special commands, provide detailed descriptions about what actions the pet model must be able to perform. Our crew + pet model owners will review and assess this information accordingly before agreeing to work on the shoot.

what if I need a specific breed or size pet?

Log in to browse and book directly with pet models in any city from book.soona.co/directory. Filter by pet type, weight, and other measurements in order to find the perfect pet for your brand. Or, after your booking is made, you'll go through model selection which will surface the active pet models in the city your booking is assigned to.If you’re not seeing a pet type you are looking for, email hey@soona.co with your preferred pet details and we will let you know our options.

do I need to join my shoot if I book a model?

Yes! We highly encourage attendance for all soona shoots, but especially encourage attendance for shoots with models or other pro-services. This is to ensure you can give live feedback to the model(s) and we can capture your content just the way you need it. We will continue shooting if you are not in attendance!

are there other pets besides cats and dogs available?

On occasion we have other pet types beyond cats and dogs available. The other pet types available can vary. We recommend using filters during model selection to find our “other” pet types.
