When Unil and their four-legged friends came to us for assistance for the development of a new concept in the Norwegian pet food category, we willingly wagged our tails.

In the Norwegian market, pet owners try to avoid buying pet food in grocery stores. They simply don’t trust the bigger, international, mass produced pet food brands. Pet food shelves are filled with glossy packaging, strongly coloured tins, big logos and photoshopped cats and dogs munching away, while smiling. A far cry from Norwegian food packaging preferences.

We developed a name and concept that lies close to the Scandinavian mindset and heart. With nature as our inspiration, the name “Fauna” became our starting point.

We need to give our four-legged friends the sustenance they deserve, and in having done so, Fauna can proudly claim that ‘we have gathered from forests and heather, streams and sea – from wild fauna to dew covered flora, to find the best ingredients nature can offer.

The finishing and production took place last year, and the products arrived in stores early this year. As of now, sales and feedback have been positive from the pet owners and the bowls are all empty.

“The result of the design solution and the internal launch has been very well received internally within the organization. We wanted to communicate nature, interaction between humans and animals, while at the same time focusing on product content and produce. We think this was solved in a clever and elegant way. We are very excited about the launch of the brand and how the products will be received in the market.”
