Design agency 'Moon Troops' created these [artisanal dog food packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancestral-natural-pet-food) to promote a new collection of pet chow. The packages feature gorgeous illustrations of aged dogs that are used to differentiate the [age-specific pet food products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-kibble-for-dogs) within the range.

[VAFO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vafo-group) Farma SRO is one of the largest European pet food producers and this unique packaging sets it apart from competitive brands. Each savage dog image features a scenic backdrop with jutting mountains and vast rivers.

By incorporating small yet significant touches into the background, this packaging creates a cohesive image that resembles artwork as opposed to a traditional pet chow package. The goal for this brand identity is for consumers to focus on the canine age groups that each pet food pack is made for.
