Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! If you're a multi-pet household, each pet can have their own entry for as long as they’re a registered pet. Just make sure each entry is a separate post, tags us, and follows the campaign's guidelines. We love seeing sibling dynamics, so bonus points if you mention how they're different!
You can simply tag Shory.com instagram channel @getshory on your post and mention the campaign hashtag #EveryPetHasAShory along with your pet’s story in caption.
Not even a little bit. Some of the most heartfelt entries come from smaller accounts. That said, once we reshare your post, community engagement (likes, comments, shares) does play a role in helping you reach the Top 10. So you can ask your friends, family, and fellow pet lovers to like, share and comment. The more people engage with your post, the better your chances.
Either! Reels, static posts, carousels, videos whatever showcases your pet best. That said, video tends to perform better (algorithm loves it), so if your pet does something hilarious or heartwarming on camera, GO FOR IT.
Of course! For as long as your pet is registered in the UAE and you have proof of ownership, you can participate. We want to hear stories from Lebanon, street cats from Egypt, dogs from the Philippines, wherever your journey started, we're here for it.
Winners are announced in April. The Top 10 pets will be featured across Shory's Instagram and they receive AED 10K each. One entry will win a grand prize, a 2026 Mercedes. Plus, your content gets reshared to thousands of pet lovers.
For this campaign, we encourage a fresh entry posted within the campaign period. You can use the same content if it’s relevant and not too old (think not older than 6 months). Just make sure it includes the campaign hashtag (#EveryPetHasAShory) and tags our Instagram on the post (@getShory) in the NEW post so we can track it. Lastly, we need a caption describing your story.
We'd be honored if you wanted to share your pet's story with our community. While memorial posts won't be eligible for the Top 10 selection, we absolutely welcome you to celebrate their legacy and the joy they brought to your life.
We're getting TONS of entries (which is amazing!), so we can't reshare everyone immediately, but we're seeing and saving them all. If your post is public, tagged correctly and uses the hashtag, you're officially entered. Keep an eye on our Instagram (@getshory) Feed, Stories, and Highlights throughout the campaign. Even if you're not reshared right away, you may find your story posted soon.
