Shake Shack is another chain that loves our pups too, and that’s why they have a special menu for dogs that includes not only a Bag O’ Bones, but also a Pooch-ini. The Bag O’ Bones is exactly what it sounds like, a bag filled with five dog biscuits that were made for the company. And the Pooch-ini is a vanilla custard with two dog biscuits. The custard cup is not recommended for smaller pups, and as with anything you give your dog it is always good to make sure it’s okay from a veterinarian first.
In ‘N’ Out lovers, did you know you could get a Pup Patty for your pooch? Well you can, and it isn’t loaded with things your dog can’t have. Instead, the Pup Patty is a plain burger patty that has no salt added to it. And it comes in a bag just for your dog, which gives a whole new meaning to the term doggy bag.
At Dairy Queen, you can order your dog a Pup Cup, which is simply a cup of vanilla soft serve that is topped off with a dog treat. We definitely think you should make sure it is okay with a vet first, as this the company’s regular soft serve ice cream (which means dairy and sugar are some of the main ingredients).
There are a lot of places trying to cater to the dog lovers of the world, and thanks to dog friendly patios and pop up shops for pups, there are a lot more options when you want to enjoy a nice day out with your canine companion. But thanks to some big chains, you can still treat your pup right with their secret menus.
But rather than find the safest thing on the human menu at some major restaurants, it may be time to learn about some secret menus that are all about the dogs. From Starbucks (which many of us knew about already) to Dairy Queen, there are some surprisingly dog friendly restaurants, even if you can’t bring your pup inside with you to enjoy their treats.

No shirt, no shoes, no service — a phrase common across the food and beverage industry. But no dogs? That’s a phrase that multiple chain restaurants don’t have in their vocabulary. In fact, these nine restaurants offer everything from sweet biscuit treats to canine-friendly hamburger patties. Next time you visit one of the following chains, you can pick up something for your canine companion as well.
Note: While these are treats created for your pet, they should be consumed in moderation. Some of these items include dairy, sugar, or fat which can cause stomach aches or weight gain. While it is OK for dogs to have a little milk, owners should be cognizant of the symptoms of lactose intolerance.
America may run on Dunkin’, but when you are in the drive-thru with your cuddly companion, ask the staff for a puppy latte — whipped cream in a cup. And if you want to sit and stay awhile, ask them for dog treats.
This list wouldn’t be complete without the famous Puppuccino. All you have to do is ask your barista for the lick-able treat, which is made out with a small amount of espresso and whipped cream.
This chain started out as a hot dog vendor in the middle of New York’s Madison Square Park, which includes a well-visited dog hangout for furry friends. In honor of its roots, this chain features a “For Dogs” menu on their website, but when visiting, ask for a Pooch-ini. This small dessert includes dog biscuits and vanilla custard. Owners can also pick up a Bag O’ Bones which is a bag of five dog biscuits made by New York’s Bocce’s Bakery. “Shake Shack’s dog menu is available at all Shake Shacks except stadiums, ballparks, airports, and international outposts,” the company’s website states.
This cupcake and dessert chain started out as a Beverly Hills bakery in 2005, but in 2012 created the first cupcake ATM. Now, their menu includes sweet treats for dogs. Pupcakes, made out of sugar, egg whites, and buttermilk, also come in a sugar-free version. These small cupcakes are topped with yogurt frosting.
Known for their fresh custard, Culver’s offers dog biscuits. If you drive thru specific locations, you can ask them for a little extra treat. Their milk bone will come with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but make sure to enjoy it in moderation.
A rival of frozen custard, but known for its famous Blizzard, Dairy Queen also offers Pup Cups. Similar to the others in this list, it includes a dog treat smack dab in the middle of vanilla ice cream.
This Southwest and Pacific Coast chain offers a couple of options for your furry friend. The first is a pup patty, which is a salt-free burger. The second, Flying Dutchman, consists of two beef patties with a slice of cheese. Your pooch will have you flying across the country to have a taste.
Monday, March 16th, 2015 was Dairy Queen’s 75th Anniversary. They offered all customers that day a free dipped cone. Rather than ordering a free dipped cone for myself, I packed all six of my dogs, my mom, and her two dogs into my car to purchase two treats for us, and EIGHT Pup Cups™ for our dogs.
