'Bone' appétit! This frozen treat kept dogs’ tails wagging in 1989

Created by an animal science professor, the lactose-free dessert was made for dogs and sold beside human ice cream, officials said.

  • Frosty Paws is now available in grocery freezers next to Haagen-Dazs, marketed as the "world's first frozen treat for dogs." The lactose-free dessert offers a safe alternative for canine companions.
  • Created by an animal science professor in 1989, the product was designed to ensure happy tummies for pets by eliminating milk sugar that can upset Fido. The formulation addresses a key concern for dog owners.
  • Dusty Diaz, dubbed the "canine connoisseur of ice cream," faced a choice between a classic sundae and Frosty Paws. The dog initially preferred the real ice cream, devouring it entirely before considering the frozen treat.
  • The packaging clearly states the product is not ice cream, serving as a safe substitute for dogs unable to consume real dairy. This distinction protects pets with lactose sensitivities while providing a frozen treat experience.
  • Consumers can find Frosty Paws in the freezer aisle as a staple option for pet owners seeking safe, frozen alternatives. The product positions itself in the growing market of pet-specific treats alongside traditional human desserts.
