Anyone who has a dog knows that pumpkin is a pup's favorite food, so it makes perfect sense that Krispy Kreme is marking National Dog Day with new Pup'kin Doggie Donuts.
Just as the name suggests, the new Pup'kin Doggie Donuts are pet-friendly donuts featuring a burst of pumpkin spice flavor. Each donut is handmade and inspired by this year's Krispy Kreme Pumpkin Spice donut lineup, which includes delicious offerings like the Pup'kin Spice Maple Peanut donut and the Pup'kin Spice Cheesecake Swirl donut. Of course, unlike the human version, each Pup'kin Doggie Donut is made with pup-friendly ingredients like pumpkin, peanut butter, and carob.
Krispy Kreme's Pup'kin Doggie Donuts can be purchase in six-count boxes starting August 26 through August 31, 2023.
