Your Dog Deserves Ice Cream Too: The Fancy Frozen Treat You’ll Both Be Fighting Over

Your Dog Deserves Ice Cream Too: The Fancy Frozen Treat You’ll Both Be Fighting Over

Get ready, because Van Leeuwen—the ice cream brand that's known for pushing the envelope with flavors that make people say, “Wait, what?”—has just outdone themselves. This time, though, it’s not for you (well, not just for you). On May 21, they dropped their first-ever ice cream for dogs, teaming up with Ollie, the human-grade dog food brand. Yep, you read that right—premium ice cream for your pampered pooch. And let’s be honest, you’re totally going to sneak a taste too. We know you.

Introducing: The Van Leeuwen and Ollie Frozen Dog Treat—a non-dairy delight featuring a peanut butter and banana recipe that’ll have your dog drooling (and maybe you too, no judgment). Imagine swirls of creamy peanut butter nestled inside a banana base. Your furry best friend is about to get bougie.

Now, don’t worry about what’s going into Fido’s food bowl (or your spoon, for that matter). Both brands pride themselves on using top-notch, dog-safe ingredients. Coconut cream? Check. Oat milk? Check. Peanut butter and banana? Double-check. If you’re the kind of pet parent who reads labels like it’s a new hobby, you can feel smug knowing these treats meet Ollie and Van Leeuwen’s high standards.

“We’re super pumped to partner with Ollie on this,” said Ben Van Leeuwen, co-founder and CEO. “It’s the perfect flavor combo—my dog, Hachi, and our office dogs couldn’t get enough. We had to pry it out of their paws.” That’s how you know it’s legit.

The doggy ice cream is rolling out today at Van Leeuwen scoop shops nationwide. But, if you’re not near one of their hipster-approved locations, don’t sweat it. You can grab some at Petco (because why should humans have all the fun?)—either in-store or online. And if you’re one of those overachieving Ollie subscribers, you can just add it to your order, no big deal. Bonus: new subscribers get a free pint with their purchase from June 3–13. Free stuff *and* happy dogs? Sign us up.

Ollie CEO Nick Stafford chimed in with the usual CEO-approved enthusiasm, “At Ollie, we care about quality above all else. We want dogs to live long, healthy, joy-filled lives. I’m beyond excited about this partnership because now, even their desserts are nutritious and delicious.” And honestly, after hearing that, we’re kind of wondering if *we* should be eating more dog food.

So, the question is: are you going to share with your dog or eat it all yourself?
