Is there room on the road for another food truck? With everything from pancakes to pupusas, what’s left to vend? K9s Only, a doggie resort that provides daycare, grooming and training for their customers has the answer. But the treats they’re giving away are exclusively for your furry friends.
The K9s Only Treat Truck is a food truck just for dogs cruising Los Angeles. Let your dog try free samples of K9s Only Natural Nugget gourmet doggy treats or get Fido a single-serving of doggy ice cream called Lickety Split. Dogs love it! K9s Only Food Truck Captain, Amanda Sauler has tasted the ice cream (“It’s salty”).
However, it's not just pet edibles that the K9s Only truck is about. Besides furnishing LA’s dogs with treats, the K9s Only Food Truck is on a mission to assist Los Angeles Animal Services. They accept donations on behalf of the shelters and provide information on more ways to help. Customers can take a treat and leave a little something for the less fortunate pets of Los Angeles.
Check the K9s Only website on Mondays to see their weekly schedule or follow them on Facebook and Twitter to see where they’re rollin’ next.
