The Purina Beggin' Blocks dog treats have been created in collaboration with A Minecraft Movie as the perfect treat for dog owners with a penchant for video games to give to their furry friend. The dog treats are crafted with the grass blocks from Minecraft as the inspiration, but are crafted with real bacon to give them a delicious and nutritious flavor. The product is thus perfect for fans of all ages to give to their furry friend as a way to celebrate the video game.
The Purina Beggin' Blocks dog treats are being offered in six-ounce and 25-ounce packs priced at $3.99 and $12.49, respectively, and are arriving just in time for National Video Game Day (September 12).
