Insta Dogs: Here are the 10 richest adorable dogs of Instagram - including lovable Jiffpom

These dogs all earn more than the majority of humans.

Some dogs can earn thousands of pounds for a single post on social media.

New research has revealed which four-legged friends are coining it in on social media.

Instagram is big business these days, but it seems that you don't have to be human to make a living from the popular platform.

The study by pet nutrition experts PetLab has established the Instagram dogs who can earn the most money through simple sponsored posts. 

The research analysed the follower counts, estimated reach, estimated post impressions, and engagement rates on 100 of Instagram’s most popular canine pet profiles, revealing the pooches and pups who, if they and their owners so wish, could make the biggest bucks if they choose to monetise their accounts.

Here are the 10 top grossing pets.

1. Jiffpom

Jiffpom

Jiffpom comes in as Instagram’s richest dog. The tiny Pomeranian puppy who likes to dress up, may owe some of his fame to Katy Perry, as he appeared in her music video for the song ‘Dark Horse’. As well as this he’s managed to make commercial cameos for Target and Banana Republic. Alongside these business endeavors, Jiffpom’s Instagram account, with its huge 9.3 million followers, has the potential to fetch as much as £42,200 per sponsored Instagram post, making him one of the most profitable pooches on the planet.

Incredibly sadly, the seventh-placed pups feature post-humously on the list, but while Harlow and Sage are no longer with us, their legacy lives on. Harlow the Weimaraner, and Sage the miniature Daschund found fame through their adorable friendship in 2013, and their Instagram, now run by their best friends, can earn up to £11,200 per sponsored post.
