Target The Cuddle Collab is a new range of private label pet products being launched by the retailer to provide consumers with ample options for their furry friends and tap into demand for accessible options for cats and dogs. The collection consists of more than 180 items that are inspired by six dogs and five cats that consumers might recognize thanks to their 'fur-fluencer' status. The product range is arriving this month starting September 21, 2024 and will include treats, plush toys, home decor and more starting at $3.
Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer of Apparel & Accessories, Home and Hardlines Jill Sando spoke on the Target The Cuddle Collab saying, "We know shoppers turn to Target to help them care for their families, and for millions of people — including 70% of Target guests — pets are family. The Cuddle Collab is all about celebrating our pets, and it's a fun way to extend our design expertise to the entire family — pets and the people who love them."
