MOUNT LAUREL, NJ. — J&J Snack Foods announced the launch of Dogsters® pumpkin flavored ice cream treats for dogs on January 17. The new flavor was developed based on consumer feedback, according to J&J Snack Foods, which has seen many requesting frozen, dairy- free treats for dogs with sensitive stomachs.
Dogsters pumpkin flavored ice cream is a veterinarian-approved, low-fat and low-calorie treat, according to J&J Snack Foods. The treat is formulated with real pumpkin and probiotics to support gut and digestive health, and does not contain any artificial colors or flavors.
The new flavor builds on other Dogsters flavors including Cheesy Bac’n, Nutly & Cheese, and Mintë Kissably Fresh. Dogsters can be served frozen and are suitable for all dog breeds.
“The new Dogsters pumpkin flavor builds on our tail-wagging, better-than-a-belly-rub portfolio of treats for dogs,” said Joanne Mizner, vice president of marketing at J&J Snack Foods. “After speaking with customers and pawrents across the country, we discovered the importance of a dairy-free option for puppies. Pumpkin is the perfect addition to our lineup because we want all dogs to be able to enjoy a refreshingly cool treat that uses real ingredients and no artificial colors or flavors.”
All Dogsters ice cream treats are made in the United States and are available in grocery stores nationwide. The new Dogsters pumpkin flavor will be available at Giant Eagle, The Giant Company and HEB locations beginning this year, with a rollout at additional retailers planned for next year.
