As Hungry Howie's Vice President of Public Relations, Jennifer Jackson, explains, "Partnering with Happy Howie’s allows us to create a fun way for our guests to enjoy their favorite pizza while also treating their furry companions to something special.” Available as of April 11th, the new National Pet Day menu is a lineup of Secret Menu options that pair fan-favorite Hungry Howie’s dishes with Happy Howie’s all-natural dog treats. For instance, there's a Pup & Roll Combo that includes a $5 Pepperoni Howie Roll and a packet of Happy Howie’s Dog Treats. There's also a Bone Appétit Pack Party, which includes a $15 Large 1-Topping Pizza, Howie Bread with a dipping sauce, and a pack of Happy Howie’s Dog Treats. Finally, there's the Howie’s Bark-Back Add-On, which allows you to add two packets of Happy Howie’s Dog Treats to your order for $5.
