Bach at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Stress Relief for Pets, Natural, Pet, Dropper in Dog Relaxers.
Berkeley Bowl stocks dog relaxers thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Berkeley Bowl carries dog treats in real depth, 51 SKUs against a fleet median of 25, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is dog relaxers: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 1 there, so Bach Stress Relief for Pets, Natural, Pet, Dropper stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the dog relaxers, and position the dog treats as a finishing or gift item.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.

Presence and depth are measured from Berkeley Bowl’s current Bay Area storefront: its online catalog plus our shelf photos, a partial view. A widely-distributed brand shown as a new door may already be carried through channels we don’t index. Berkeley Bowl profile →
