Bundle x Joy, the Latina-founded pet lifestyle brand renowned for its gut-friendly dog food and vibrant, Gen Z-targeted packaging, has made history as the first Latina-founded pet brand to secure shelf space at Walmart, expanding into 500+ stores and online at Walmart. This milestone, announced on April 2, marks a pivotal moment for diversity in the $58 billion U.S. pet care industry and amplifies the brand’s mission to make premium, allergy-conscious nutrition accessible to all pet owners.
Gut Health Innovation: 70% of Dog Immunity Starts in the Gut
Bundle x Joy’s launch into Walmart underscores its commitment to addressing a critical insight: 70% of a dog’s immunity and longevity stems from gut health1. The brand’s products, already stocked at Sprouts and Whole Foods, include:
- Allergy-friendly dog food (chicken- and beef-free recipes)
- Human-grade stews and supplements
- Treats infused with probiotics, prebiotics, colostrum, and collagen
These ingredients mirror trends in human wellness, appealing to Millennial and Gen Z pet owners who prioritize holistic health for their pets.
Breaking Barriers in Retail and Design Founded by Latina entrepreneur Jess Berger, Bundle x Joy challenges traditional pet aisle aesthetics with bold, gradient packaging inspired by beauty brands.
The design shift targets younger shoppers tired of “blue, brown, basic, and boring” pet food branding, resonating with Gen Z’s preference for Instagram-worthy products1. “We’re passionate about reaching pet owners who’ve been overlooked, including diverse communities,” said Berger.
“Launching at Walmart ensures we meet pet people where they shop, while sharing our story as one of the first Latina-founded brands in this space.” The Walmart rollout complements Bundle x Joy’s omnichannel strategy, bridging online engagement (via @bundlexjoy on TikTok and Instagram) with physical retail accessibility.
