Your Dog Wants a MintโSort Of: Girl Scout Dog Treats Are Finally Here
It is officially the moment every pet parent and cookie fanatic has been waiting for. Girl Scouts USA is expanding its iconic annual cookie lineup with its very first product crafted exclusively for four-legged family members: Girl Scout Dog Treats. Starting this coming January, your pup won’t have to sit on the sidelines begging for a bite of your Thin Mints anymoreโthey get their own dedicated box.
Meet “Patch Pals”: The Blueberry Muffin Snack for Pups
The newly minted Girl Scout Dog Treats, officially named “Patch Pals,” are a blueberry muffin-flavored crunchy cookie developed in partnership with New York-based pet lifestyle brand BARK. Designed to give dogs their own taste of cookie season, Patch Pals will be sold exclusively online. scout leaders noted that the inspiration came straight from the youth members themselves, who wanted a way to include local pets and their owners in the classic fundraising tradition.
Inclusion for Everyone: The New Allergy-Friendly Cookie
In addition to the dog treat debut, Girl Scouts USA is rolling out “Sparkables”โthe organization’s first-ever top-9 allergy-friendly cookie. Developed alongside New Jersey food brand Partake Foods, these colorful oatmeal cookies feature chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles. They are manufactured in dedicated facilities free from the top nine major allergens, including:
-
Milk, eggs, and peanuts
-
Wheat, tree nuts, and soy
-
Fish, crustacean shellfish, and sesame
When and Where to Buy
While the traditional Girl Scout cookie season typically runs from January through April depending on your local region, both Girl Scout Dog Treats (“Patch Pals”) and the allergy-friendly “Sparkables” will be available online only. They will join fan favorites like Samoas, Tagalongs, and Thin Mints in the official digital lineup. Keep an eye out for online ordering links when the season kicks off next January!
