[BARK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-1) is a brand that is known for its dynamic range of dog toys and snacks and it is now releasing the Snack Pack. This series is comprised of seven [dog treat flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/influencer-dog-treat-collection) that come in the form of cereal boxes. Each one is designed with inspiration from [breakfast cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-cups) dawning from the 80s and 90s, where playful mascots and surprises took over the experience.

The packaging is nostalgic with interactive games at the back of the box. Notably, it caters to the texture preferences of pets as well, whether they prefer softer or crunchier textures. The overarching goal is to create a healthier choice for the furry companions so all of the treats are free from soy, preservatives, and corn.
