When you crack open a brew at the end of a hard day or during the big game, do you feel bad that your dog can’t share the experience? Well, a company in Arizona has introduced the world’s first beer for dogs, Bowser Beer. But before you start a letter-writing campaign aimed at stopping this doggy vice of DUI (Dogs Under the Influence), rest assured that the product contains no alcohol, carbonation, or even hops (which, apparently, can be toxic to dogs). Instead, it’s a tasty brew of all-natural, low-fat beef or chicken, malt barley, and glucosamine. According to the manufacturers, the barley offers B vitamins, and the glucosamine is for joint health. At $20 for a six-pack, though, Bowser Beer’s price is right up there with the elite microbrews. And for a few dollars more, you can even put your dog’s picture on the label.
So what do you think? Is this a fun treat for pets and owners, or is it a little too much?
