Amanda's Role
Amanda created the bakery sub-brand identity, custom kraft packaging line, window treat pouches, bakery cart merchandising displays, chalkboard-style price headers, and seasonal flavor tags.
Challenge & Focus
PetSmart wanted to capture high-margin impulse treat sales by introducing a charming, artisanal pet bakery experience inside the store. The packaging and displays needed to evoke the warmth of a neighborhood dog bakery while adhering to commercial packaging standards, moisture barriers, and fast retail restocking requirements.

Creative Concept & Execution
Neighborhood Bakery Charm in Big-Box Retail
Wiggles & Wags was conceptualized to bring the warmth and sensory delight of a local neighborhood dog bakery into high-volume retail stores.
By utilizing earthy kraft paper substrates, friendly illustrative lockups, and clear display windows, the packaging invites pet parents to inspect the decorated seasonal treats up close. Freestanding display carts placed near checkout lanes turned the bakery line into an irresistible impulse purchase ritual for shoppers and their four-legged companions.
Outcome & Impact
Delivered an irresistible, tactile treat destination that drove double-digit impulse sales growth, creating an iconic fixture at pet retail checkout zones nationwide.
