How Many Is Fido in Dog Beers?

Posted by Jessica Roberts

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can share a cold one with your pup, the short answer is: no. The alcohol, hops and carbonation are all unhealthy for your pet. But that doesn’t mean he can’t sip on a special concoction created just for him! These clever companies have created delicious and healthy dog beers just for our canine companions. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, or any occasion where you find yourself pouring a pint at your favorite pet-friendly brewery, order up some hooch for your pooch and drink responsibly together at last.

What’s better than having a beer alongside your drinking “pawtner?” A beer and fries! Hailing from Belgium, Snuffle Dog Beer recently released crispy crunchy canine fries to pair with its popular canine beverage. Although human beer and fries belong in the junk food category, Snuffle Dog Beer and Fries are actually a healthy way to treat your four-legged friend. The dog beer contains Vitamin B, malt barley extracts and mineral oils, while the fries are made of potatoes and cornmeal, crisped up in an air fryer and containing only 0.8% fat.

Both flavors of Snuffle Dog Beer are available on Amazon. A four-pack of beer is £14.99 plus £12.99 delivery to the U.S. The Dog Fries sell for €53.24 for a pack of 48 bags at snuffledogworld.shop.
