What is a Puppuccino?
So you've probably seen videos like this on YouTube or TikTok with dogs either at or driving through Starbucks, lapping up a delicious treat called a Puppuccino. What is a Puppuccino? A Puppuccino is a tiny espresso size cup with whipped cream made specifically for our fur-kids. Popularized by Starbucks mainly. It's sometimes a gift with purchase or they make you pay a token fee for it. So what's in a Puppuccino? It’s just whipped cream.
Milk products, including whipped cream, in small quantities are perfectly safe for most dogs once in a while. Lactose in milk products is always the guilty culprit that upsets your dog's tummy.
Singapore
While it seems to be very American-centric, if you smile real nice and ask a lovely barista at Starbucks for one, they might just cave. Generally though, they don't. So what's a dog got to do to get one?
Supermarket
You can get a can whipped cream from the supermarket, especially if you're going to give your dog a Puppuccino once in a while. But it can be quite a waste if it's just for your dog and you don't take whipped cream at all.
