25 Restaurants With Secret Menu Items for Dogs

Restaurants are far safer for your furry friends than you might believe! Even if you can’t bring your pup with you inside, restaurants are working hard to make themselves pet-friendly in other ways to get around that Health Department curve.

We love a good outdoor patio and we also enjoy these secret and not-so-secret menu-items for our pups.

Starbucks, ‘Puppucino’

One of the more popular “secret” puppy menu-items is the Puppuccino at Starbucks. No, it isn’t coffee for your pup (which you should never do). A Puppuccino is a little whipped cream in a small cup that you may or may not be able to add your pup’s name to, just for fun. It is a secret, so you do have to ask for it by name.

In-N-Out, ‘Pup Patty’

Sure, there are some burger joints that’ll sell you a patty a la carte, but In-N-Out specially makes Pup Patties. When you order a Pup Patty, you’re ordering an unseasoned patty served in a doggy bag. But it’s just for Fido and you don’t have to worry about any of those toppings.

It is a secret menu-item, though, so you will have to ask for it by name.

Sprinkles, ‘Pupcakes’

Everyone loves cupcakes— including dogs. In order to keep our furry friends in the loop, Sprinkles Cupcakes offers Pupcakes.

These little numbers are made with premium ingredients like egg-whites, sugar substitute, and a yogurt “frosting” specifically for your pup and they’re right on the menu in plain sight.

Dairy Queen, ‘Pup Cup’

Dairy Queen is one of the most notable pup-friendly menu items on our list— the Pup Cup. That’s because it’s usually free. Yes, FREE. It might be limited to only one-scoop of ice-cream in a small cup, but that’s one-scoop you don’t have to pay for.

But this doggy-menu item isn’t on the real menu. You’ll need to remember the name Pup Cup and ask for it.
