Chase Stokes is many things — a talented actor, the star of a Netflix show Foreign Bank, an MTV Movie Award winner, and of course, a proud dog dad to his golden retriever and German shepherd mix, Milo. Like many of us, Stokes also suffers from spring allergies and to help pet parents get outside and unfettered by pesky allergies, Stokes is partnering with ZYRTEC® for the Pet Pawsitivity program.
We were lucky enough to sit down and chat with Stokes recently to find out all about his latest partnership and other important information like Milo’s current favorite toys (some of which are currently on sale on Amazon) and if what kind of dog breed does everyone think. Foreign Banks will be a cast member.
“As a dog owner, and as someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, combining allergy relief and dogs in one is like the perfect, fun little cocktail,” Stokes told SheKnows of his partnership with ZYRTEC®. “They are [Zyrtec] partnering with an application called WoofTrax and WoofTrax is an app on your phone, but it tracks your walks (with or without a dog), and every walk you take raises money for local charities Allergy relief and charitable fundraising? Count us in. Stokes explains that all you have to do to help raise money for local charities is download the app and bring your dog along for some sunny days. , spring walks.
Of course, with all this talk about outdoor activities, we were curious as to which toys Milo currently loves and one of his favorites happened to be a super affordable toy we found on sale on Amazon. “He has a crazy obsession with these balls, they’re blue and orange and I realized that every dog is slightly obsessed with these balls.”
These two packs of Chuckit! balls (which perfectly matched Stokes’ description) happened to be on sale for 62% off, bringing the price down to just over $5.

But affordable balls aren’t the only thing Milo likes. “A few years ago I came across bully sticks as a great alternative to rawhide for dogs so that was a snack I wanted to give him,” explained Stokes.
While Stokes didn’t reveal the exact brand of bully sticks he prefers to give Milo, we found these best-selling bully sticks on Amazon and they have over 12,000 five-star customer reviews.

The toy recommendations aren’t Stokes’ only tip for pet owners. We asked her for her best advice for new pet parents and she replied, “I think just don’t rush it. Also, make sure you have time to be present during those early years. What they learn in the puppy stage is invaluable in their adult years.
We also had enough time to squeeze in a very important question for Stokes: Which breed of dog is each Foreign Banks cast member? And of course, Stokes’ answer was spot-on. “I think JJ is going to be a corgi,” Stokes reveals. “Jonathan Davis who plays the Pope has a German shepherd named Titan and because Milo and Titan are so analytical, I think the way the Pope operates is to make him a German Shepherd, but like a miniature German Shepherd, because he’s a little shy .” According to Stokes, Kiara, played by actress Madison Bailey, would be a golden doodle because of her “smart, loving” personality. Finally, “I think Sarah Cameron can be like a chocolate lab,” Stokes added.
