Happy Paws: Cuddle Buddy Cat Treats


Happy Paws is a family owned and run Canadian cat treat company. They have a passion for developing delicious treats that both taste good to your pet and support your cats physical health.

I was hired to design packaging for a new line of heart shaped cat treats that focus on the relationship between the pet and their owner. This new line of cat treats is called “Cuddle Buddy.” A signature visual of a woman and her cuddle buddy cat was illustrated for the product to help communicate the element of desire. The loving embrace between the owner and their pet helps remind the consumer of their beautiful relationship with their cat.

I chose a friendly and playful looking typeface to compliment the overall messaging. Beautiful pinks and purples were used to help create a strong sense of intimacy and connection. Hearts were echoed throughout the design to further emphasize the love and compassion that develops between a cat owner and their cuddle buddy.
