They may like a beer... but won't be feeling ruff! Latest treat of alcohol-free brew lapped up by dogs
For those who want to reward their loyal best friend, what better way than with an ice-cold beer?
Bowser Beer is made in Phoenix, Arizona from beef or chicken broth with malt barley. It is non-alcoholic, has no carbonation and also free from hops which can be toxic for dogs.
A six-pack costs $20 and the company suggest giving the brew to your pet straight from the bottle, over dried dog food or using a splash to flavour their water bowl.

Bowsers also offer peanut butter bits, liver treats and a dog-friendly pretzel pack.
