Petcurean and Canidae both have twitter accounts. Petcurean currently has 6,444 followers while Canidae has 13,500 followers. This means that Petcurean has Less than half of the follows that Canidae has received. Upon scrolling through their pages, I notice that Canidae posts a lot of original content whereas Petcurean posts some original content but mostly re-tweets content from other pages. Both brands do not seem to follow the 50/50 rule on Twitter. Some of the keyword sentences used by Canidae are Pet Nutrition, Free Treats, and Giveaway.
