Brace yourself for a mealtime you won’t forget! Dogs across America are licking their chops over the Mix Mania campaign from Mars Petcare, which encourages dog owners to MIX IN wet food with dry kibble and LOOK OUT for a full-on freak out from their furry friends. Actress, musician and animal lover, Kristin Chenoweth, has joined the Mix Mania madness, lending her voice to hilarious videos showing frenzied freak outs and mealtime craziness.
Consumers can join the fun by visiting MixMania.dog where they’ll find lip-smackingly delicious recipes, PAWsome content and a unique remix station where they can share their dog’s freak out video and have it remixed with a hysterical voiceover from Kristin Chenoweth.
The campaign highlights freak outs at their best with serious slobber and overjoyed pooches captured in slow motion videos. The long form video shares a taste of the mania, and a series of short form videos with outrageous voiceovers from Chenoweth leaves consumers begging for more.
