Ben & Jerry's is now making ice cream for dogs, too


Starting later this month, the whole family can indulge in Ben & Jerry's together.
The ice cream company announced on Monday it is launching its first-ever line of frozen dog treats. Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey aren't on the menu, though — for pups, there are just two flavors: Pontch's Mix, made with peanut butter and pretzels, and Rosie's Batch, a combination of pumpkin and mini-cookies.
The ingredients are simple, ABC News reports: water, sugar, coconut oil, pumpkin puree, pea protein, molasses, and natural flavors. The ice cream cups will hit the frozen sections of U.S. grocery stores and pet stores in late January.
