You need a compound path to cut a hole in an object:

Pouches are printed on transparent mylar substrate. You need to create SPOT WHITE ink color in swatches, and then design a white plate on layer and overprint all your artwork so that it separates in separations preview. You usually want to keep a window in the lower half of a stand-up pouch, as if rides too high the window could show where there is no product.
If you are designing something that goes to final print, that should be done by a professional who has experience in that, There are certain pet food regulations by the AAFCO that need to be followed. If the packaging is in violation, then the product can be recalled and the manufacturer could come after you for the cost of reprinting and legal fees.
