Dogs or Cats? That is the Question.

Cats on the Cover

A while back, DogEvals had an ongoing ‘thing’ about dogs and cats: which one  appeared more often in just-regular magazines. And, of course, dogs won!

Dogs vs Cats or Cats vs Dogs

I picked up an old Real Simple (May 2016 [couldn’t find the cover online so here is the 2018 May cover, sans cat])

magazine for 10 cents at a flea market recently and noticed beaucoup dogs in the pages, then I saw the “Cat on the Cover”! (First things first, of course.)

Results

So, DogEvals decided to revive the competition and here are the results:

Inside cover: 2 dogs, 2 cats

Ikea ad: dog under a table

Editor’s Note: black lab (I think the editor has a dog she likes to feature each month)

Iams ad: Then and Now (puppy pic plus a few years later)

Purina ad: dog on left page, dog and cat on right page

Fibromyalgia pain med ad: two dogs
