Recent Review
The Nibble (December 2005)
"Taste-tested by dog gourmets (who else?), they received universal 'woofs.' As with Pavlov's dogs, ours learned to listen for the freezer door, and came a-running even before the cups reached the floor."
Polar Pups to be on TV again

"Don't offer lame excuses while you lap up Cold Stone. Dish out Polar Pups frozen treats in flavors like Beggin' Banana and Puppy Nutter."
Pampered Puppy Pick of the Month (May 2, 2005)
From the Pampered Puppy newsletter:
"Summer's coming, and that means lots of sunny days and warm breezes and playing outside. It also means lots of water and finding shade and other ways to keep your furry friend cool in between playtimes.
We thought the new product called [Polar Pups] was inspired, and reminded us of the sundae-in-a-cup we used to get from the corner store when we were kids. We know Merry will want to give these a go this summer - the diva finds it just too passe to sweat, after all. :)
Go on. You know you want to."

Dogs Across America Chomping at the Bit -- Polar Pups Goes National
Chicago, IL (March 10, 2005) - Polar Pups all natural frozen treats for dogs has gone national! Vavadog, San Francisco’s ultra hip new store for the urban pet is Polar Pups’ newest retail location. San Francisco dogs are pulling at their leashes to get into this hot dog boutique for some cold Polar Pups. Bay area residents can follow their drooling pooches over to 735 Fillmore Street for a delicious treat!
In a generous 4 oz. reseal-able cup, these all natural frozen treats are available in four choice flavors: Barkin' Apple, Berry Bite, Puppy Nutter, and Beggin’ Banana. Each Polar Pups is lovingly made with a puree of fruit or homemade peanut butter and a touch of healthy soy milk. Polar Pups treats can be found around Chicagoland in specialty pet supply stores, dog parks, farmers markets, and events where people and dogs gather together.
Becky Marshall, the company’s owner and a graduate student in Interior Architecture at Columbia College Chicago, came up with the idea for Polar Pups after visiting an ice cream shop. She yearned for a delicious and safe treat alternative for her furry youngster, Hailey. Becky created all natural recipes with healthy ingredients for dogs’ diets and left out all the stuff that can upset their systems such as dairy products, fillers, preservatives, corn and wheat.
Polar Pups were vigorously taste-tested by Hailey, the head of the quality control department. For Becky, she has the satisfaction of knowing that "not only do dogs love Polar Pups, but their guardians can feel comfortable about giving them this all natural treat any day of the year!" We can hear the howling already for Polar Pups across America! More nationwide locations coming soon! Visit www.polar-pups.com for more information and the latest retail updates.
