Dog Ice Cream Truck Coming To Park Slope – Patch

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN —A doggie ice cream truck is coming to Park Slope’s ethical pet product boutique this weekend.
Anyone can eat The Pupper Cup’s sweet treats, but — as its name suggests — the truck caters towards dogs, serving “ice cream” made from a base of coconut and guar gum in six different canine-friendly flavors: bacon (the most popular), peanut butter, salmon, blueberry, carrot, and pumpkin.
From noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 2 the truck will park in front of Gone to the Dogs, an ethical boutique for dogs that recently opened on Seventh Avenue, selling fair trade canine products (like leashes and sweaters) hand-made from recycled materials by international female artisans.
Co-owners Jenn Wong and Santos Agustin told CBS that the business combines their ethical and sustainable fashion values (the pair met while working in the fashion industry, and now design the sweaters at their store) with their love of dogs.
Also a woman-owned business, The Pupper Cup was founded by Kelly Crook, who loves ice cream and wanted to share the joy of visiting an ice cream truck with her four-legged friends — save from dairy, gluten, or added sugars.
“I wouldn’t put anything in The Pupper Cup that isn’t something I would eat,” Crook said in a video posted to the company’s website, featuring her sampling all of the ingredients that go into the doggie ice creams.
Ingredients include handmade peanut butter made from 100 percent peanuts, wild caught pacific salmon, and fresh blueberries and carrots — all of which is mixed by Crook into the base in order to create the different flavors.
“It’s really good,” she says sampling the ice cream base, and feeding the rest to her dog.
A small scoop of The Pupper Cup’s ice cream costs $4, and a large costs $6, according to Crook. Cash, credit card, and apple pay are accepted.
Correction: This article originally stated that The Pupper Cup would be parked in front of Gone to the Dogs, at 103 Seventh Avenue, on March 26, but organizers changed the event to April 2.
