Refreshing Dog-Friendly Desserts

Shake Shack Now Offers the 'Pooch-ini' as a Dog Dessert

For Valentine's Day this year, Shake Shack unveiled the Love Shack Shake, which helped to support the non-profit organization Canine Companions for Independence—now, the American fast casual restaurant chain is introducing a refreshing dog dessert that can be safely consumed by one's furry friend.

The 'Pooch-ini' takes the form of a frozen vanilla custard dessert that's topped with a drizzle of peanut butter sauce. While this is enough to make any dog drool, the pet-friendly treat also comes with an all-natural beef and cheese biscuit that mimics the flavor of the human-friendly ShackBurger.

Fortunately for all doting pet owners who want to offer their dogs a delicious way to cool off during the upcoming summer months, the Pooch-ini can be found at all Shake Shack locations.
