DOGS get their paws on specially created canine ice-creams from a dedicated doggie ice-cream van (called K99) this weekend at the Boomerang Pets Party in Regent’s Park.

The idea for canine ice-creams was born out of sympathy for pooches forced to watch, the sun beating down and their tongues hanging out, as owners indulge themselves in their favourite icy snacks.
“Every year Brits consume an average of around 50 ice creams per person, with the majority of these eaten in the summer months,” said Sally Bezant, spokesperson for Boomerang Pets Party.
“All the while, man’s best friend has to make do with a bowl of water to cool down. And, with 10.5 million dogs in the UK, that’s a lot of pets missing out. With this is mind, the Boomerang Pets Party decided to take action and bring an ice cream to the dogs of Britain.”
Two yummy flavours have been developed after intensive research with Fido and co., the first called Canine Cookie Crunch and the second Dog Eat Hog World, based on gammon.
“After a lot of research, a gammon and chicken ice cream and a mixed dog biscuit ice cream were the clear winners, and we hope they’ll be flavours dogs simply can’t refuse,” said Ceric Nale, the chef behind the two treats.
The Boomerang Pets Party is on at Regent’s Park this Saturday, 24 July, from 12 noon until 5pm.
