First Ice Cream Sandwiches for Dogs

Wednesday, October 11, 2006

Pedigree Ice Cream Sandwiches for DogsBreyers announced today they released the "first real ice cream sandwich formulated especially for dogs".

It's made by Breyers, but with the Pedigree logo on the box.

Recognizing that some dogs are lactose-intolerant, the company says their new ice cream sandwiches are 99 percent lactose free, but still has a creamy texture that four-legged ice-cream eaters have enjoyed for generations. They also have added protein, but no added sugar. The sandwiches are perforated so that they can broken up into smaller pieces.

Breyers goes on to describe a consumer test with this new product and found that consumers preferred the ice cream sandwich over cups of ice cream because it's easier to feed to their dogs and is less messy.

PEDIGREE Ice Cream Sandwich Treats for Dogs are just now making their way into supermarket freezer sections, in packages of six (6) 3 oz. sandwiches, for a total of 24 bite-sized perforated pieces, and have a suggested retail price of $3.99.

  • I wouldn't mind getting this for my dog; she loves doggie ice cream. But I think that (contrary to what is published here) the andwich would be messier than the cups; the sandwich will go on the floor as it is pushed off the plate, whereas what's in the bowl stays in the bowl (at least for my dog....)

  • True if you give the whole sandwich. I think that's why Breyers added perforations, so that you can break it up into bite-sized pieces. I've given ice cream cups to my dogs, and they seem to eat it just fine also, though they end up pushing those cups all over the place!

  • I like the cups better. It keeps the dogs busy for at least 5 minutes instead of 2 bites and the sandwich is gone.

  • I love this idea. It would be great while i'm eating my ice cream and give my dog Clyde is very own ice cream at the same time, mean while he thinks he is getting something special by eating with mommy.... The sandwish will only be messy if u tolerate ur dogs to eat at they want. I hand feed my treats to Clyde so I think this is a GREAT TREAT idea.

  • Our doggie loves these. Since he is small, we break off just one of the sections for him as a special treat after his bath. They aren't messy at all. He gets sooo excited after he is dried and brushed running to the fridge.

  • My two little rescues love these as do the neighbors' Jack Russell and big, black fluffy dog. All four of them gather at our front door each morning, sit and wait their turn as as I feed them bites of ice cream sandwich. It's great. The best doggie treats ever.
