This summer has already brought us the best of the best. (Hello, Trader Joe’s sweet secco Bellinis.) But while we’ve been cooling off with Dairy Queen’s summer menu and all of our favorite frozen treats, we’ve forgotten to throw a bone to the most important member of the family—the dog!
Our favorite budget-friendly grocery chain, Aldi, is teaching ice cream some new tricks this year with all-new Heart to Tail Frozen Dog Treats, aka ice cream for dogs.
It Comes in 2 Fun Flavors
Kibble can’t compare to the creamy flavors of this Aldi find. Your dog can indulge in either Original or Cheese & Bac’n, which obviously makes for the perfect summertime snack. There’s no telling what the Original flavor tastes like unless you try it yourself, but we can imagine it’s something along the lines of meaty and perfect for your pooch. Psst…Did you know having a dog is making you healthier?
Aldi’s Heart to Tail ice cream includes gluten-free ingredients and no artificial flavors, meaning dogs with allergies are welcome to get a mouthful, too. The doggy ice cream comes in four individual tubs with 2 cups for the Original lovers and 2 cups for the Cheese & Bac’n cravers. Like real ice cream, this product needs to be kept frozen.
Check out all these people foods you can (and should) share with your dog.
Get Your Pack to Aldi STAT
We all love specialty Aldi items, but the supermarket loves keeping us in suspense more. Heart to Tail ice cream will be hitting shelves on June 26, but it won’t be sticking around for long. There’s no telling when it will go for a walk, but if we had to guess, we’d say doggy ice cream is only a summer event.
Heart to Tail will only set you back $3, so it’s worth it getting into Aldi and claiming a few packs before summer starts turning up the heat. Trust us, your pup will thank you for it.

Oat and Apple Dog Pretzel Treats
With chewy rolled oats and fruity applesauce, these pet-approved pretzels by the Cookie Rookie are sure to have even the most stubborn pups sitting and staying. The treats even use gluten-free flour (which you can swap for coconut flour, too) so they're healthy and hearty. We interviewed the Cookie Rookie about her people-food recipes. Here's what she had to say.
Breath-Freshening Treats
Bad breath? There's a treat for that. Like these good-for-Fido greenies, packed with parsley, mint and activated charcoal to prevent those stinky smooches that every dog parent is all too familiar with. These foods prevent sneaky smooches among humans.
Frozen Watermelon Dog Treats
There are so many creative ways to eat watermelon (gazpacho! sorbet! salad!)—and now you can add these tangy treats to the list. Just make sure you use seedless watermelon since those pesky black seeds can make your dog sick. Find more ways to keep your dog cool on hot days.
Carrot Peanut Butter Pupcakes
Puppies + cupcakes = pupcakes. These doggy desserts are exactly what you need to celebrate a special occasion, like Scout's first birthday or Bella's graduation from obedience school. Don't forget the party hats! For a particularly well-behaved dog, you'll want to find a gift, too.
Healthy Pumpkin Puppuccino
For the dog who's as PSL-obsessed as his mom, serve up this Starbucks-inspired sip—coffee not included.
