Milk-Bone and Dunkin' teamed up to create a limited-edition Vanilla Glaze Flavor Biscuit for dogs, making it easy for pet owners to treat their pets to a sweet experience reminiscent of their own eating preferences. The dog treat inspired by the chain's donuts for humans aligns with the humanification of pet products, right down to the fact that the dog-friendly donut is dipped and drizzled in a vanilla yogurt-flavored coating and topped with sprinkles.
Younger generations are embracing pet ownership and opportunities to bond with their pets through meals, snacks and rituals. Knowing that pet parents love to take their dogs with them while ordering from the drive-thru, Milk-Bone and Dunkin' created a pet-safe version of a beloved human snack.
