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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartshaped-chocolate-bites) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-ever-duo). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### 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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog-Friendly Macaron Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-mutt-macarons.md) - [Lobster-Shaped Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-lobster.md) - [Nutty Chocolate-Free Canine Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmos-peanut-butter-pup-cups.md) - [Holiday-Ready Dog Treat Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-treat-box.md) - [Hand-Decorated Dog Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woofkies.md) - [Dog-Friendly Valentine's Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-selection-box.md) - [Animal-Shaped Chocolate Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hames-solid-milk-chocolate-shapes.md) - [Charitable Heart-Shaped Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denzels-battersea-hearts.md) - [Dog-Friendly Cake Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-celebration-cake-bites.md)
