Food Trucks With Dog Menus
Posted by Billy Francis
The Seattle Barkery
In 2014, Ben and Dawn Ford put the keys in the ignition, tantalizing treats in the oven, and hit the road with The Seattle Barkery Treat Truck. Combining their love of dogs with the growing trend of food trucks in their hometown of Seattle, the husband and wife team now park their funky dog food truck in Redmond’s Marymoor Park. Order your pup drool-inducing favorites that include Bacon Pupcakes, Mini Cheezy Donuts, and Doggie Ice Cream Sundaes. The truck has proved such a hit that they have also added a brick-and-mortar store and a treat trailer.
For a staycation or getaway in Seattle, bring Fido to stay at Thompson Seattle, a Hyatt Hotel, where there’s no pet fee.
Fido to Go
Unleashed in Chicago in 2011, Fido To Go is the nation’s original dog treat truck. The menu comprises handmade, gluten- and allergen-free canine cookies, doggy frozen yogurts, and chews. Fido can even take a selection of cat treats home for Fluffy to sample. You’ll find the truck at dog parks, rolling through local neighborhoods, at the beach, and parked at events throughout the Windy City.
Extend your stay in Chi-Town at The Talbott Hotel, where your pup will receive treats, beds and bowls, and you won’t be charged a pet fee.
Smart Cookie Cart
When Smart Cookie Cart founder Bri Bradley learned she had breast cancer at the same time her Aussie dog was diagnosed with lymphoma, she turned the situation into a positive experience. She focused her energy on keeping her best friend happy and healthy by designing treats packed full of nutrients and functional ingredients. The business has grown a lot since the early days of riding a wooden trike around Denver, but Bri hasn’t forgotten her roots. You can catch her at Golden Farmers Market on Saturdays and Parker Farmers Market on Sundays. Smart Cookie Cart also offers treats for sale online, or you can sign Fido up for a customizable subscription service that’s tailored to his individual needs with a new treat delivered every month.

WoofBowl
After overcoming many adversities in life, and losing their entire savings to a contractor, Ron and Solo, the founders of WoofBowl, have persevered to give the dogs across the country a healthy and delicious fast food option. Currently located in Brooklyn, NY, the truck rotates to different cities every couple of years. You can find their food truck parked at festivals, fundraisers, and even private events. Canine customers can order a burger or chicken nuggets with a side of sweet potato fries, dog beer, and an ice cream donut for dessert. They also sell merchandise like WoofBowl dog hats, a canine credit card for Fido’s future purchases, and a bag of treats to be donated to a shelter, foster, or dog family in need.

Dishes are served on frisbees, elevating the dining experience to a 5-bone level.
