Every dog deserves to have certain core memories, such as frolicking in the snow or splashing in the water. Pet parents go above and beyond to keep their furry companions happy and content, willing to go the extra mile to ensure their beloved pets have a fulfilling and joyous life. Whether it means taking a scenic route home or adding a few additional items to the shopping list, the delight of seeing a dog’s tail wag in pure happiness is a decision made without a second thought.
Pup cups are a delightful indulgence that every dog should savor at least once in their lifetime, whether it be a simple dollop of whipped cream or a more elaborate concoction. The sweetness of a few licks can brighten a dog’s day, regardless of their age, and this is precisely why dog mom Autumn decided to treat her rescue Pug puppy, Nobu, to his inaugural pup cup experience at a tender age of around 7 weeks. Nobu, a special little pooch, had been facing challenges with seizures after being abandoned at a veterinary clinic, but the sheer joy emanating from his ‘hangry’ demeanor instantly faded upon devouring his first pup cup on February 3.

Since late January, Nobu has seamlessly integrated into Autumn’s family, and his spirited personality quickly began to shine through.
Regrettably, Nobu’s newfound happiness was slightly marred by the onset of cluster seizures shortly after joining his new family. Despite ongoing collaborative efforts with veterinarians to identify the underlying cause of these seizures, Nobu remains a cheerful and content little Pug pup. The sheer delight with which he devoured his pup cup stands as undeniable evidence of his joy and resilience.
Concerns may arise about the suitability of pup cups for dogs, prompting questions about their safety and potential benefits. While coffee might be a go-to for many humans to kickstart their day, dogs require a different kind of treat to begin their morning on a high note. Pup cups, consisting typically of whipped cream and adorned with additional dog-friendly toppings like bacon bits or mini biscuits, provide a perfect solution for this purpose. Most cafes are willing to craft a pup cup even if it’s not listed on the menu, but ensuring your furry companion is welcome inside the establishment is essential.
Whipped cream, as a stand-alone treat, is generally safe for most dogs when served in moderation, though caution must be exercised with dogs having medical conditions such as diabetes or obesity. It is advisable to avoid low-calorie or low-sugar whipped cream varieties, as they
