English Bulldog Shares Secret About McDonald’s Pup Cups and It’s a Game-Changer
Does your dog enjoy getting a pup cup whenever you're out and about or when you bring one home as a special treat? My dog has never turned one down! Pup cups are usually a small cup of whipped cream or soft serve ice cream, and they vary from restaurant to restaurant. All I know is that I've never met a dog who didn't like them!
Eggnog is an English Bulldog who is also a fan of the treat. Her mom posted a video on Sunday, September 15th of the two of them in the parking lot of a local McDonald's, and they shared a game changer that really changes everything when it comes to pup cups. Mickey D's adds a little something extra to their treats, and it definitely ups their pup cup game!
Did you know that McDonald's put chicken nuggets in their pup cups? I had no idea! I feel like I need to go get my dog one right now! Commenter @MAZE felt the same way, "I'm sorry, excuse me?! I didn't know this!" Many others commented on Eggnog's video, too. I cracked up (and agree with) @itsjennkbye, "Ok but why do I want to order this for myself…" @Daemon pointed out about the English Bulldog, "The gentle way he chose the nuggie!" @Xtina made me laugh with, "My dogs are on the McD's app! Don't add to their demands!"

DIY Pup Cup and Other Homemade Treats
All of us can buy little paper cups and fill them up with whipped cream, but that's like mom when we were kids telling us we didn't have to go to McDonald's and that she'd just make us burgers at home. It's not the same! Well, it's not the same for us humans, but I'm guessing that dogs really don't care. So, if you'd like to treat your pup at home to a pup cup or other homemade treat, we've got some recipes to share.
Pup cups don't have to only be made with whipped cream, so get creative! You can also start with a base of pureed pumpkin, dog-friendly ice cream, or plain Greek yogurt. Add additional flavors like peanut butter, carrots, berries, or whatever else your pooch likes. Put it into a small container and serve it topped with a dog biscuit. If you have time, you can freeze it so that it'll take your dog even longer to eat.
This DIY version of a pupsicle takes minutes to make, and you probably have all four of the ingredients on hand. This Pet Helpful article has 10 simple homemade dog treat recipes that your dog will love. I like making my own treats at home because I can control the quality, what goes in them, and it's more cost effective.
