Ongoing Freebies and Deals
Starbucks
If you’re a dog owner, odds are you’ve heard of the “puppuccino,” or “pup cup,” from Starbucks; it’s a side of whipped cream for your pup, available at no additional charge with the purchase of a beverage. While it’s not officially on the menu, it’s a common order from dog owners, says a Starbucks spokesperson, who added that it’s important to talk to your vet about what treats are best for your pet.
Bruster’s Ice Cream
Bruster’s Ice Cream always gives away a doggie sundae — one scoop of vanilla with a dog treat on top – to customers who bring their furry friends to a shop. A human ice cream purchase is required to get the free doggie sundae.
Use the Bruster’s Ice Cream locator.
