It’s traditional for dog owners to take their dogs to the park for a walk and indulge in an ice-cream (or two) to help cool down from the heat. Meanwhile the poor dogs usually have to be content with a bowl of water, if they’re lucky, as of course ice-cream isn’t particularly good for dogs.
However, there is a new ice-cream van that intends to change all of that, being aimed solely at dogs and offering doggie flavours, such as chicken, gammon and dog biscuits. The idea has been perfected by some crazy boffins who have worked on the flavours to ensure that they are safe for dogs.
The new ice cream van will open its shutters to doggie punters at the Boomerang Pets Party, which takes place in Regents Park this Saturday. The van will offer two flavours of ice cream, and will cost 99p for each one (as ‘99s’ used to actually cost for us humans too). The flavours are ‘canine cookie crunch’ and ‘dog eat hog world’. ‘Dog eat hog world’ offers chicken and gammon flavour ice-cream, with crumbled dog biscuit and sat on top of a doggie cone. ‘Canine cookie crunch’ is a simpler affair of ice-cream with crumbled dog biscuits.
Once the van has debuted in Regents Park this weekend, it will appear at (more…)
