Continuing its tradition of creating popular pet-focused ads, Subaru of America has launched all-new 'Dog Tested. Dog Approved' advertising spots. The four spots showcase the Barkleys, a family of Labrador and Golden Retrievers, who recently helped to launch the all-new Subaru Ascent. In the newest 'Dog Tested. Dog Approved' spots, the Barkleys will take on everything from driving lessons, to the first day of school and even a doggy-run car wash.

The national television spots, created by Carmichael Lynch on behalf of Subaru of America, aired during the 24th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, where Subaru marked its 14th consecutive year as a sponsor of the SAG Awards and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. The all-new 2019 Subaru Ascent was featured on the red carpet.

The four new national spots will air in 30-second formats on network and cable television broadcasts and be featured in targeted digital and social media promotions. The four 'Dog Tested. Dog Approved' spots feature the Barkleys in scenarios not unlike those that Subaru drivers find themselves in with their own families.
