The Bear and The Rat earns positive reviews for tasty frozen yogurt treats and Mighty Toppers that excite picky eaters, add moisture, and spotlight simple, human‑grade ingredients like peanut butter, goat milk, and bone broth. Reviews also flag drawbacks: portions run small, flavors can be hit‑or‑miss for some dogs, a few report digestive upset, and products are often described as hard to find or pricey, making them better as occasional, summer‑friendly rewards.

These ice cream treats are great. I have a 100 lb doodle and he really enjoys the peanut butter flavor. It’s a nice treat for hot days and keeps him pretty busy for a solid 20 minutes. The downside, however, is that they are on the small side.

A frozen treat for your furry friends that’s comes in a cute packing and cups for easy on the go treat. That’s sure to delight most furry friends with a special treat for them. Just don’t mistake it for human consumption.
My doggie loves these!! I’m a huge fan of this brand. I’ve tried a couple of their products and none of them disappoint I would recommend to anyone who wants to try. They have cute packaging too. Love that.

Absolutely the best frozen treat in a cup my pups absolutely love! Wouldn’t give them any other brand. You can see Bear & the Rat has such high quality ingredients great for dogs health. Truly a company that cares.

I got an active pup so I am always finding ways to keep her busy to tire her out. Slowly eating her ice cream is perfect for this. She likes to sun bathe in our backyard so I will grab one from the freezer and let her go to town.

The Bear and The Rat frozen yogurt dog treats have been a game-changer for my pup! My dog, Skye, has a sensitive stomach, and finding treats that don't upset her has been a challenge. These treats are not only delicious (based on Skye's enthusiastic reaction), but they're also gentle on her tummy. The ingredients are simple and wholesome, which gives me peace of mind. I also love that they're probiotic, supporting her digestive health. Skye gets so excited whenever she hears the freezer door open now! Highly recommend for any dog owners looking for a healthy, tasty treat option!

My dog is on a lot of medications and is incredibly talented at spitting her pills out. I’ve tried everything, including pill pockets and nothing works. This brand tippers are the only thing that gets her to lap up all her food and pills.

My dog loves these. I like that they are versatile and can be given as a “popsicle” or food topper. I usually just defrost the night before and add it to my dog’s food in the morning. Kind of pricey but great ingredients.

I recently tried The Bear & The Rat's Bone Broth Mighty Toppers for my dog, and they've been a hit. The frozen pods are easy to use, just thaw one and pour it over his kibble. He gets excited every time he sees me take one out of the fridge. I appreciate that it's made with simple, natural ingredients and no preservatives. It's a bit pricier than some other options, but seeing how much he enjoys it makes it worth it. I plan to keep these as a special addition to his meals. I also love the brand's name and packagings.

I really love this bone broth topper for my pup. It keeps her hydrated and healthy. The simple ingredient list puts me at ease that the topper is not loaded with artificial ingredients. The bone broth pods are so easy to use and my dog absolutely looks forward to them when she sees me take the box out of the fridge.

I liked the size of these treats and definitely the convenience factor. Although I cannot attest to the taste, they were very popular with my dogs. They really woofed them down!!

These are awesome for my dog! She licks the bowl clean and she is very picky. It comes frozen in 6 pod packs. You simply defrost one in the morning and serve for dinner. I feel great knowing my dog is getting healthy nutrients from this and it's not packed full of preservatives. Luna loves it and so do I ! :)

One of my favorite companies for my pup. Small catalogue of items = quality and passion for what they make. My dog has loved everything we’ve tried - all the ice creams and toppers. The packaging is super convenient and easy to store and I absolutely love the ingredients and company values. Highly recommend!

I bought the goat milk variety for my picky eater, Milo, who usually doesn't enjoy his dry kibble. This topper completely turned things around! The moment I added it, Milo eagerly dug into his food and finished every bite. The texture blended perfectly with the kibble, and the mild scent was just enough to get him interested without being overpowering. I also appreciated the high-quality ingredients. From what I have read, goat milk is gentle on digestion and packed with nutrients, which was perfect for Milo’s sensitive stomach. Best of all, it didn’t cause any issues - just a happy, satisfied dog. If you have a fussy eater or want to make your dog’s meals more nutritious, this topper is a fantastic choice. It made a big difference for Milo, and I’ll definitely keep it in our routine!

I followed the directions to serve the Bone Broth Mighty Topper by The Bear & The Rat , but it was still partly frozen and having this topper over room temperature food seemed to confuse my dogs. I think it would be more effective served either as a completely frozen treat, like an ice cream or a warmed, mixed-in addition to their meals. With a bit of tweaking to the serving instructions, I think this could be a great product - but as it stands, it's not quite a hit with my furry ones.

It was very easy to find! It was in a cooler right in the front of the store. The package is bright and eye catching. I fed to my dog as an extra treat and he loved it!

My dogs really liked this!
I purchased the bone broth for our dogs and the absolutely love this stuff! We got it to give them something extra to put on top of their dry food. It only come with 6 in a box, we don’t do it everyday. Will continue to buy this for them for an extra treat periodically.

My 9 year old pit/lab mix, Kermit, lost his appetite after being diagnosed with cancer, but he always has an appetite for Bear & Rats ice cream cups! So glad we randomly tried these, now they are a staple in our freezer. I also had the pleasure of communicating with the co-owner, Matt, who was absolutely wonderful. Good people making good products is the vibe I get.
