Talk about lifting workplace spirits on a ruff day.
The launch is the first time in Ben & Jerry's 42-year history that its ice cream makers have crafted a tasty treat specifically intended for an animal . Though the business has run into some backlash over how some of its dairy cows are treated , Ben & Jerry's animal welfare practices reflect the original founders' passion for politics and environmentalism, including their love for four-legged creatures.
The treats come in two flavors, both of which are sold individually in 4-ounce mini cups or in packs of four for $3 and $5, respectively. With a sunflower butter base, Pontch's Mix has frozen peanut butter, pretzel swirls and was named after a little Frenchie bulldog who is a fixture in the office. Rosie's Batch, an ode to a rescue mutt by the same name that frequents the corporate HQ, has creamy pumpkin and mini, pup-friendly cookies.Give him the exercise he needs. All pets need regular exercise to stay fit and to release their energy. Without it, your pet will begin to act out. Young pets that do not get enough exercise are more likely to develop negative behavioral issues that lead many to give up their pet.
To sweeten dogs' days even more, Ben & Jerry's also partnered with some pet suppliers to create an leash (in the company's iconic tie-dye, of course) made out of recycled water bottles. In addition, they created a dog toy that looks like an ice cream cone and stuffed with recycled filling. Both are available with other merchandise online at Ben & Jerry's Gift Shop.
