These Chocolate Dogs from Fetch Chocolates are almost too cute to eat. Almost. A litter of six French bulldogs made from 71% Ecuadorian single bean cocoa (that’s really rich and delicious dark chocolate), 34% Venezuelan cocoa (for the milk chocolate dog lover) or white chocolate with a dash of coconut will make a perfect gift for anyone who loves dogs and chocolate.
At the moment, only French bulldogs are available, but there are plans to expand into other chocolate dogs including: (chocolate) Labs, Yorkies, Dachshunds, Cavalier King Charles and Golden Retrievers. Six chocolate dogs will set you back $28 and $1 from each litter of chocolate dogs sold will be donated to the Best Friends Animal Society.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Animal-shaped Chocolate Products
- There is a potential for creating various chocolate animal shapes and targeting niche audiences to differentiate from traditional chocolate products.
- Charity Marketing
- Incorporating charitable donations into product sales can appeal to socially conscious consumers who want to make a positive impact with their purchases.
- Cocoa Sourcing Ethics
- Stressing the ethical sourcing of cocoa beans from specific countries can differentiate the product and gain loyal customers who support responsible supply chains.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Confectionery Industry
- Creating unique and innovative chocolate products can differentiate from traditional chocolate offerings and generate interest from consumers seeking novel food experiences.
- Pet Care Industry
- Collaborating with businesses in the pet care industry can help build partnerships and expand product offerings to pet owners who are also chocolate lovers.
- Social Enterprises
- Combining business operations with social responsibility can attract consumers who prioritize making a positive impact with their purchases and want to support ethical businesses.
