What is a before and after ad?
A before and after ad shows the same subject in two states side by side, so the result of using the product is visible at a glance. It's common in skincare, cleaning, fitness and home improvement, but claims shown must be realistic and typical to stay within ad platform policies.

Full creative breakdown
Who this ad targets
Dog owners aged 25–55 currently feeding kibble who notice issues like digestion problems, weight gain, picky eating or a dull coat. They want a healthier option that is still convenient to store and serve. Air-dried food appeals to people who find fresh food too expensive or high-maintenance. Most of them discover new pet brands through social media and are comfortable buying online.
Copywriting analysis
The headline uses two words and an arrow, making the transformation the message. Each row pairs a negative state with a positive one using simple, parallel language. "Selective appetite" is a polite way of saying picky eater. The right column header "PREVIOUS (Bain)" is an obvious error and should read something like "NOW (Bark & Bloom)"; left as is, it confuses the message and undermines trust. The tagline rhymes and ends with "made for modern dogs", adding a lifestyle angle. Health claims should be softened or supported.
Visual design
The top section uses off-white to frame the bowl and pouches cleanly. A deep green panel with a curved top edge holds the text, creating strong contrast. A large cream serif headline with a hand-drawn curved arrow adds elegance. Thin arrows between the columns create a clear left-to-right flow. The green and rust pouches add colour and tie into the brand palette, while blueberries and carrots make the bowl appealing.
How to adapt this template for your brand
- Shoot your food in a bowl next to your packs on a light background.
- Add a dark panel with a two-word "from → to" headline.
- List four common problems and four matching outcomes with arrows.
- Label the columns clearly, e.g. Before and After, and proofread them.
- Close with a short, rhythmic tagline.
Tips for pets ads on Meta
Strong for Meta campaigns targeting kibble buyers and health-conscious owners. Fix the column header error before launch. Add an "individual results may vary" note to soften health claims. For Reels, animate each arrow row appearing one by one. Test a version with a transition kit or starter offer for conversion, and a 4:5 crop for more feed height. A carousel version could also expand each point into its own card.
About this creative
A before and after style ad for Bark & Bloom air-dried dog food. The top section is off-white with a top-down view of a white bowl filled with brown air-dried cubes, blueberries and diced carrot on the left. On the right are two pouches: a forest-green Turkey and Sweet Potato with a turkey illustration, and a rust-brown Salmon and Pumpkin with a salmon illustration, both labelled B&B Bark & Bloom, premium whole food blend, gently air-dried. The bottom two-thirds is a deep green panel with a large cream serif headline: transition, with a curved arrow, to nourish. Two column headers read previous (kibble) and previous (Bain), the second clearly a copy error. Four rows of arrows follow: poor digestion to healthy gut, unbalanced weight to ideal weight, selective appetite to eager eater, and dull coat to shiny fur. A closing line reads: simplify the change, amplify the health, made for modern dogs.
