Talking Rain's Sparkling Ice Partners with K9s for Warriors

— March 25, 2025 — Marketing
Talking Rain Beverage Company has launched a thoughtful co-branded initiative that pairs its Sparkling Ice sparkling water six-packs with K9s For Warriors. The latter is a nonprofit organization that trains shelter dogs as service animals for veterans with PTSD.

The new Sparkling Ice six-pack packaging features the K9s For Warriors' logo and imagery of Rocky, a rescue dog turned service animal. Rocky's 2024 "presidential campaign," which saw the four-legged hero travel across the US to promote awareness for veteran needs, was sponsored by the beverage brand.

The partnership between Talking Rain Beverage Company's Sparkling Ice and K9s For Warriors serves a dual purpose. For one, it addresses consumer demand for mid-sized beverage packs, with flavors like Mango and Classic Lemonade. Secondly, it supports a social cause and includes QR codes linking to donation pages.
