Ever since I can remember, I've been intrigued by pet food packaging. I've always thought it to be interesting how a pet food company's packaging often lends itself to be more appealing to the eyes of animals when it's so obvious that humans are the ones purchasing the food. IWhen I buy dog food for my beloved mutt, I'm not looking at the flavor palette of the "freeze-dried raw meat" contained within—I'm purchasing based on the branding and price. 

However, some brands understand that you need to stand out on a shelf in more ways than one and have created their pet-based packaging to reflect it. We've gathered our favorite pet food package designs that are both effective and beautifully imagined; even your pups might have something to bark about it.
