Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A dog is a business unit that has a small market share in a mature industry. A dog thus neither generates the strong cash flow nor requires the hefty investment that a cash cow or star unit would (two other categories in the BCG matrix).

Therefore, in such situation, managers need to decide whether the investment currently being spent on keeping these products alive, could be spent on making something that would be more profitable. Diet coke, a Coca-Cola product, is on such example of Dogs.
