Why timing matters for pets on TikTok
The first 60 minutes after posting determine roughly 80% of a video's success. TikTok tests with a small group, and strong watch time, likes, comments, and shares trigger broader distribution.
Morning commute (7-9 AM) and lunch break (12-2 PM) are strong for quick, feel-good content. Evening (7-9 PM) captures the couch-and-pet browsing window. Weekends see consistent mid-morning engagement.
