Aldi launches dog ice cream with vanilla and apple flavours in time for summer
The supermarket has also teamed up with ice cream vans to dish out the tasty treat across the country
As the summer heatwave looms, Aldi has swooped into the rescue for all dogs far and wide with the launch of a very special doggy ice cream.
Aldi, famed for its wonderfully random middle-aisle products, will be the first UK supermarket to sell Beechdean Doggy Ice Cream, which comes in two tasty flavours; pea & vanilla and apple & carrot.
Priced at £2.99 per tub, the ice creams will make for the perfect healthy snack for your pooches, with them being 100% plant-based and made with real fruit and vegetables.
And as part of the exciting rollout, Aldi has partnered with local ice cream vendors across the country so pups far and wide can enjoy the tasty treat.

The supermarket has also enlisted volunteer dogs to take part in an adorable ‘dog-livery’ service to help dish out the cooling treat to their furry friends.
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “With more of our customers now owning dogs, we’re delighted to launch a nutritious and tasty treat that will help keep dogs cool in the heat.
“Being the first UK supermarket to launch a dog-friendly ice cream comes just in time for summer as we look forward to the warm weather.
“Teaming up with ice cream vans across the country gives us the chance to get the product straight into owner’s hands, so they can share a special moment alongside a tasty treat outside with their furry friend – we’re confident they won’t be able to keep their paws off it.”

Aldi’s Beechdean Doggy Ice Cream will be available in the Freezer aisle – next to Aldi’s full ice cream range – nationwide from Thursday June 16th.
And that isn’t all Aldi have in store for customers this summer; last month, the supermarket unveiled its brand new frozen drinks maker, perfect for homemade frozen cocktails in the sun.
The machine, remarkably priced under £25, can make both delicious frozen drinks or shaved snow cone ice, and comes with two ice shave settings.
It also features a safety locking lid, easy pour jug and slip resistant feet – making it perfect for those late night summer get-togethers.
