Ben & Jerry's Is Now Selling Frozen Treats For Dogs
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (CBS) -- Ben & Jerry's isn't just for humans anymore. The Vermont-based ice cream maker announced Monday that it's selling frozen treats for pets.
The new products called Rosie's Batch and Pontch's Mix are named for two real pups that hang out in the dog-friendly Ben & Jerry's workplace. Pontch's has peanut butter and pretzel swirls, while Rosie's features pumpkin and mini cookies.
"Just like you love Ben & Jerry's ice cream, your dog will love Doggie Desserts," Ben & Jerry's said.
