Gelatissimo Has Released a New Vegan Gelato Flavour That Humans and Dogs Can Share

We've all been there: you're eating something delicious and your adorable dog wants some, but it's just not good for them. Everyone who shares their life with a barking four-legged best friend has experienced this scenario, because pooches always want to do whatever their humans are doing — and eat whatever they're eating, too.

Sadly, while cute pups love the sight and smell of plenty of human treats, they just can't stomach some foodstuffs. Chocolate is a culprit, as everyone remembers come Easter. Thanks to its milk and sugar content, ice cream is another.

If your four-legged best friend goes yapping mad over heaped ice cream cones, here's the good news: Gelatissimo is releasing a new limited-edition flavour that's both human and canine-friendly. We're not saying that you and your fluffball should share the same cone of the frosty dessert, but you definitely could.

Made fresh in-store, the new scoop is banana and strawberry flavoured. To make it suitable for dogs, it's made with oat milk, so it's also vegan. It also features cavendish bananas and strawberries, unsurprisingly. That said, puppers with a history of pancreatitis or allergies do need to steer clear.

Those who can tuck into a tub will find it at Gelatissimo outlets around the country from early October, but only for a limited time.

If it all sounds familiar, that's because Gelatissimo did something similar back in 2019, but with a peanut butter flavour.

"Our last pup-friendly gelato was the hugely popular, limited-edition Pawesome Peanut Butter," says Filiz Kaya, Gelatissimo's Head of Product Innovation.

"It is still requested to this day, so we wanted to bring back the concept, but this time with a fresh and fruity twist."
