In honor of National Dog Day, iconic beer brand Busch recently debuted the new Dog Brew – a new alcohol-free bone broth treat for your four-legged friends. The healthy brew’s ingredients include bone-in pork butt, whole corn, celery, basil, mint, turmeric, and ginger.

“After a long day there’s nothing quite like having a Busch with a friend, and with so many new pet owners across America this year, we wanted to create a brew to give our fans a chance to share a Busch brew with their ‘best friend’,” says Daniel Blake, VP of Value Brands at [Anheuser-Busch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-disaster-plan). “Additionally, we’re proud to be able to partner with [Best Friends Animal Society](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-ripple-imperial-ipa) and continue our efforts to help ­those furry friends still looking for a home.”

Lastly, as a way to help animal shelters, Busch will be donating $1 to Best Friends Animal Society for every case of Dog Brew purchased (up to $50,000.)
