Last night at the grocery store, stuck to the Beggin’ Strips package, youngest daughter and I found a coupon for $1.00 off Frosty Paws – Ice Cream for Dogs! After the absurdity wore off, and we composed ourselves, we headed over to the frozen foods section and tracked down this new doggy treat.
We giggled all the way home with visions of offering hubby/daddy the doggy ice cream. Once in the door, we could barely contain ourselves. The dogs were happy to see us, and we were happy to peel the lid of the frozen concoction. Good thing hubby was doing chores and not sitting around waiting to be a guinea pig.
As the packaging promised, our dogs DID enjoy Frosty Paws! By the end, they were fighting over the empty cups, clearly jonesing for more.
As a one-time novelty treat that the whole family should get a kick out of, I’d say go for it. The dollar off coupon helped sway my decision. But at over $4.00 per box, I doubt we’ll indulge in the future.
Would you buy Frosty Paws for your dog?

Oh, that looks like fun.
Quit making me jealous that I’ve never had a dog, darn it!

There’s still time for you Girl. These are only my 2nd and 3rd dogs. 🙂

Our current pooch hasn’t yet tried Frosty Paws, but I used to buy them for Maggie, our beagle. Like you, we bought them once on a fluke, but she REALLY loved them and she was old and we knew that her time was limited, so she was a bit indulged.

Awww, Beth, that is so sweet that you bought Frosty Paws for Maggie. We just discovered them. One of my friends who works for the distributor said to try the bon bons too. Let me know if your pooch tries/likes them. 🙂

Oh I can hear the gasps now, but Simon only likes the real stuff. He’s partial to cookies and cream ice cream and shares hubby’s spoon.
He’s seventeen and still going strong.
(I only eat ice cream they don’t like. I’m no dummy!)

Diva, real ice cream for your pets is cool in my book! I used to feed it to my old kitty. Wait? What? Your dog and your husband share the same spoon? Okay, yes, now I am gasping. LOL!

I haven’t seen the Frosty Paws, but it sounds like a fun thing to give a dog.
Your dogs are cute, especially the beagle. 😉

Good to see you. Hope all is well.
Oh, thank you! We are loving the beagle, and are surprised how many people own one.

I guess it was well worth it, even through the ridiculousness of it all.

Yes, it was good for a laugh. Kim, you don’t make homemade dog biscuits by chance, do you?

They do, Mami. Isn’t that crazy? Apparently Frosty Paws is coming out with a new flavor for the holidays. Oh my!
