Christmas Dinner Ice Cream for Pooches Launched for Festive Season

Carmarthenshire confectionery launches dog-friendly Yuletide dessert

Peckish pooches needn’t miss out on dessert on Christmas Day thanks to the efforts of a Carmarthenshire confectionery, which has launched a special ‘Christmas Dinner’ flavoured ice cream for dogs as a speciality for the festive season.

Created by Heavenly, a confectionery and dessert specialists found in the boutique town of Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, the Christmas Dinner ice cream offers the flavour combination of turkey, peas, carrots, sage and gravy all in one scoop; with an almond milk base ensuring its pet friendly for your pooch. No more longing eyes staring up at your bulging plate of Christmas pudding - this ice cream will ensure your canine has an indulgent Christmas dessert of his very own.

Heavenly is no stranger to weird and wonderful ice cream flavours. Boasting its own on-site ‘Ice Cream Lab’, the store makes all of its own artisan ice creams using Welsh organic milk and cream (for human consumption), and is able to make any flavour your heart desires at request (as long as they’re given  48 hours notice).

Previous unusual ice cream flavours concocted by Heavenly include Lobster and Fries, Brussels Sprouts, Baked Beans and Worcester Sauce and Chip Butty ice cream. There is, of course, a whole host of more mainstream delicious flavours on offer too- including Lemon Meringue Pie, Jammy Dodger, Fig and Mascarpone and, for those after a true taste of Wales, Bara Brith flavour. Heavenly are also offering a ‘Christmas Pudding’ flavour ice cream for the festive season.

“So much of what we eat on Christmas Day is a no go zone for our dogs, including chocolates and Christmas pudding - it seems it’s just not their day for scraps!” explained Tracey Kindred, owner of Heavenly and maker of the Canine Christmas Dinner Ice Cream. “In fact, many people don’t realise that raisins and grapes are actually toxic to dogs. We wanted to give the poor pooches a break this year and give them their very own Christmas Dinner dessert. Ice cream is the perfect way to give them a treat and making it with almond milk means it’s both lactose-free and low in sugar- as dogs need. Packing in flavours of turkey, gravy and veg, we’re sure this will give them the flavourful festive treat they deserve, and clean bowls all round!”

The Canine Christmas Dinner Ice Cream for Dogs is made to order for collection, available by pre-order only by contacting the store on shop@heavenlychoc.co.uk or by calling 01558 822800. To visit the Heavenly website, go to: www.heavenlychoc.co.uk
