What is a Puppuccino?
The Puppucino is essentially a small cup of whipped cream that both dogs and owners go wild for. It was created as part of a Starbucks' secret menu in 2015 but has skyrocketed in popularity since then thanks to its enduring appeal over social media.
Many pet owners post videos of their poochy pals lapping up their cup that is created to be the ideal size for a dog's nose.
Are Puppucinos safe for dogs?
Dairy products are usually safe in small quantities for most dogs every once in a while. However, you shouldn't be giving your dogs a Puppuccino every time you grab yourself a morning coffee.
Similar to human consumption of whipped cream, it's pretty unhealthy and full of sugar for your dog too. Giving your dog too much can result in internal problems; look to consult your vet in particular if your dog has a history of stomach issues.
It's best to consider it an extra-special treat for when your fur baby is behaving well.
