Additionally, e.l.f. will further support Best Friends’ wildfire emergency response by featuring the organization on its “Change Up” e-commerce feature on elfcosmetics.com. Purchasers on the site can round up their purchase to the nearest dollar, with the difference donated directly to Best Friends starting today through the end of the month. Since the start of the devastating 2025 Los Angeles fires, over 1,000 pets have been positively impacted by Best Friends’ work.
"At e.l.f., we strive to delight every eye, lip, face, paw and fin—we especially love our furry friends," said Laurie Lam, Chief Brand Officer, e.l.f Beauty. "Just as our Power Grip Primer gives makeup an unstoppable hold, we wanted this dog toy to grip the hearts of pet owners and pups alike. Pets are family, and they deserve all the love and care we can give, just like our e.l.f. community. Our partnership with Best Friends Animal Society reflects our commitment to every member of the family, reinforcing our dedication to positivity, inclusivity and accessibility. Now, while our human community can't get enough of Power Grip Primer, our four-legged friends can enjoy a version designed just for them, bringing the e.l.f. experience to every corner of the home."
“Best Friends is grateful to e.l.f. for their generous support of our ongoing efforts to help people and pets impacted by the California wildfires,” said Julie Castle, CEO, Best Friends Animal Society. “We’re proud to partner with e.l.f. in the midst of this fun and creative dog toy launch to help save the lives of more dogs and cats in shelters across the country.”
Complementing e.l.f.'s “eyes. lips. face. fandom.” campaign, rallying sports fans around Power Grip Primer, the "Pawer Grip Primer Small Dog Toy” disrupts norms, shapes culture and connects communities through positivity, inclusivity, and accessibility.
As the Official Cosmetics Partner of Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl XXI, e.l.f.’s "eyes. lips. face. fandom." campaign will be featured across platforms on Sunday, February 9.
Giving back is part of e.l.f.’s DNA, donating 2% of profits annually to drive positive impact. Through the brand’s partnership with Best Friends, all pets featured in the “Pawer Grip Primer Small Dog Toy” campaign are available for adoption at Best Friends Animal Society’s lifesaving center in New York City.
