Non sequitur.
The ad draws conclusions that don't logically follow from the premises — e.g., that buying this bed will make your dog "forever grateful" or will "help pets in need" without any evidence or logical link. It's not misrepresenting an opposing view (straw man), presenting only two choices (false dilemma), or making a bad comparison between two similar things (faulty analogy).
