Ice-cream van introduced for dogs in First London

 A new ice cream van with tasty treats specifically for canines will have man’s best friend howling with delight.Instead of offering the traditional vanilla whip cones topped with a flake, these frozen feasts contain gammon and chicken ice cream – complete with a crunchy canine biscuit bone.A team of scientists investigated the perfect combination of temperature, texture and taste, ensuring the treats would be delicious to dogs and completely safe.They came up with two flavours – ‘dog eat hog world’ – a gammon and chicken sorbet topped with a biscuit and served in a cone – and ‘canine cookiecrunch’ – a combination of mixed dog biscuits and ice cream.The K99 van can be found in parks this summer and, rather than the traditional chimes, the van will be playing the theme tune to Scooby Doo.It makes its debut appearance at The Boomerang Pets Party in Regents Park, London, on Saturday.Spokesperson for The Boomerang Pets Party Sally Bezant said: ‘Every year Brits consume an average of around 50 ice creams per person, with the majority of these eaten in the summer months.
