In the fast-paced world of media, marketing, and performance, animals bring an irreplaceable magic to every production. Whether it’s a dog melting hearts in a TV advert. A cat striking a pose in a luxury fashion editorial. Or a horse galloping through a cinematic scene, professional animal talent adds authenticity, emotion, and visual appeal that captivates audiences. Leading the way in this dynamic industry is Urban Paws Agency, the UK and Ireland’s number one source for professional animal talent and models.
Urban Paws Agency is more than just an animal casting company. With over 40 years of combined industry experience, it’s a dedicated team of expert agents who specialise in connecting clients with the perfect animal for any creative brief. From advertising agencies and global production houses to independent filmmakers, PR teams, and in-house marketing departments, Urban Paws provides trusted animal talent for a wide range of sectors. Including film, television, photography, digital campaigns, and live events.
Expertly Trained Animal Talent for Every Brief
Urban Paws Agency represents a diverse and carefully vetted roster of trained animal talent in the UK and Ireland. Their portfolio includes everything from popular pets like cats and dogs to exotic animals such as reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. This wide range of species allows brands and creatives to find the right fit for their vision. Whether it’s a dog actor for a heartfelt film scene or a photogenic rabbit for a seasonal product campaign.
Moreover, the agency’s animal models have appeared in high-profile campaigns for luxury and household names alike. This includes Gucci, Vogue, Dyson, Netflix, Amazon, Range Rover, and Boden. They’ve also been featured alongside major celebrities such as Harry Styles, Tom Holland, Paul Mescal, Katherine Ryan, Nicola Coughlan and KSI.
Every animal on the Urban Paws roster is assessed to ensure they meet a baseline of basic obedience. This guarantees that they can work calmly and safely in high-pressure environments, with confidence under bright studio lights, loud sounds, and bustling film sets. Many of the animals are also trick trained. Therefore making them ideal for complex briefs requiring repeated actions or highly specific movements.
Animal Welfare, Safety, and Professionalism First
What sets Urban Paws Agency apart is its unwavering commitment to animal welfare and ethical animal casting. Every animal arrives on set with the preparation and support they need to succeed. The agency works only with experienced handlers and trainers. They prioritise the well-being and comfort of the animals in their care.
Where required, Urban Paws also arranges for on-set veterinary support. This ensures all health and safety standards are upheld throughout the production. This commitment to professionalism and care means both the animals and the production crew enjoy a smooth, stress-free experience. Ethical treatment isn’t just encouraged. It’s a core value at every stage of the casting process.
