This cooling, dog-safe treat takes the form of a coconut-based frozen treat made with human-grade inclusions like pumpkin, banana, and peanut butter, and it's coming to stores and online channels near the end of June. Perfect for sharing summer moments with a beloved canine companion, the dog ice cream will be available in four-ounce mini pints. Fittingly, for the launch of the dairy-free ice cream for dogs, Dog Standards and Good Behaviour are hosting an ice cream social event with sampling opportunities, goodie bags, complimentary dog tag engraving, and adoptable dogs with [Toronto Humane Society](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-swiftthemed-cats), and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 81% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pet-safe Desserts:** Dairy-free frozen treats formulated for canine digestion signal growth potential for indulgent pet products that mirror human snack formats without unsafe ingredients. - **Human-grade Pet Foods:** Premium inclusions like pumpkin, banana, and peanut butter reflect a shift toward transparent, recognizable ingredients that can redefine expectations for everyday pet nutrition. - **Experiential Pet Launches:** Community events with sampling, personalization, and adoption partnerships create stronger emotional connections around pet brands while turning product launches into social destinations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Food:** Specialized frozen formats expand the category beyond kibble and fresh meals, opening space for seasonal, functional, and occasion-based products for companion animals. - **Frozen Desserts:** Animal-friendly formulations introduce a parallel market for ice cream brands, where non-dairy bases and portion-controlled packaging can serve pet-owning households. - **Pet Retail:** Omnichannel availability for premium pet treats highlights new merchandising possibilities for stores and online platforms built around lifestyle-driven pet care. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dog-Friendly Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-mixes-for-dogs.md) - [Plant-Based Dog Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggy-ice-cream.md) - [Dog-Friendly Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-friendly-ice-cream.md) - [Pet-Pleasing Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-treats-for-dogs.md) - [Dog-Safe Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-for-dogs.md) - [Dog-Friendly Patio Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-patio-menu.md) - [Nutritious Doggie Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pup-cups.md) - [Animated Overweight Cat Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-love-story-moto.md) - [Frozen Doggie Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggie-desserts.md)
