How 汪爸爸 (Wangbaba, Papa Wang) built a tenth-anniversary dog-food seeding push on Xiaohongshu
Between 30 August and 15 October 2024, 汪爸爸 (Wangbaba, Papa Wang) used 15 creators and 18 mostly video posts to frame its dog food and staple-food cans as an affordable Double 11 stock-up choice, anchored in ingredient tests and everyday feeding experience.
Use visible feeding tests to make affordable domestic dog food easier to trust
The tenth anniversary and the hashtag #汪爸爸十周年# (Wangbaba’s Tenth Anniversary) supplied the trust cue, while Double 11 gave the content a stock-up context. Pet creators combined unboxings, tutorials, buying guides and product round-ups with daily feeding accounts. A cold-water kibble-soaking test turned the ingredient argument into something viewers could see. Across 汪爸爸狗粮 (Wangbaba dog food; the brand name means Papa Wang), 汪爸爸烘焙粮 (Wangbaba baked kibble), 汪爸爸烘焙幼犬粮 (Wangbaba baked puppy kibble) and 汪爸爸鸡肉主食罐 (Wangbaba chicken complete-meal cans), the repeated claims were high fresh-meat content, no meat meal and dogs becoming sturdy and gaining weight.
The campaign addressed women new to pet ownership and price-sensitive dog owners with strong emotional ties to their pets. Its value anchor was under RMB 30 per jin, linking affordability with the reassurance of a domestic brand and visible ingredient evidence. Content recommended Double 11 stock-up consideration without stating a specific promotion, discount or urgency device; the call to action stayed at product seeding.

Anchor the seeding window in the brand anniversary
Open with the anniversary as the trust cue, then connect it to Double 11 stock-up planning. Start posts with a familiar concern about dog-food quality before moving into a product demonstration, so the occasion leads into education rather than a sale.
