The Bear and The Rat earns strong reviews for treats and toppers that genuinely entice picky dogs to eat and cool pups on hot days, with many noting immediate bowl-licking enthusiasm and easy single-serve packaging. Reviews also flag weaknesses: some dogs experience digestive upset, flavors can be hit-or-miss, cups feel small, and frozen formats require thawing and freezer space.

Crafted with human-grade ingredients, Bone Broth Mighty Toppers prioritize simplicity and nutrition. The primary ingredient is real bone broth, slow-simmered to preserve collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin—key nutrients for joint health. Free from artificial additives, fillers, or preservatives, these toppers are also grain-free and suitable for dogs with sensitivities. The Bear and The Rat emphasizes sustainability, using responsibly sourced bones (often from grass-fed, free-range animals) and eco-friendly packaging, appealing to eco-conscious pet parents.

The bear and the rat is a great little treat for our pups. I’ve purchased this multiple times and each time, my pup is happier than ever. Great value for the price!

My dog LOVED these products. We gave it to him on a hot and sunny day after being outside and I think it was truly bliss for him. At first he did not understand how to eat it, but once I held the cup and he figured it out I could not pry him away. Felt great about the ingredients.

My dog really liked these. I like anything that a dog can enjoy on a hot day, plus it's a treat that wont be gobbled up in half a second. They have to take their time. Nice!

Our dogs loved these! I got to try them free a while back and forgot about them until I saw this page for the products here on ThingTesting, but I will look into getting them again for our dogs especially now that the weather is getting hot again.
I got the chance to try the banana and peanut butter flavor recently and although I guessed my dog would love it (he'll eat anything!), I had a friend and their dog staying with me and she is a notoriously picky eater. Surprisingly she absolutely loved it and I got bonus cuddle points!

Gave it to my dog and he absolutely went nuts for it. It's a great frozen treat for a hot summer day for him and he got super excited when I opened a cup for him to try. Will be purchasing again going forward.

I love that this is a natural treat option for my pets! They really seemed to enjoy it and I love that it was easy to give to them

The pups really enjoyed these. I bought them both flavors, and they both loved each. The only thing is that they are obviously frozen and with limited freezer space most of the time, it would make them difficult to store on a regular basis.

This was a fun different treat to give to my dogs. It was really hard out of the freezer so I had to leave it out for a little to soften up. I tried to feed them the ice cream right away and they seemed to not want it and when I tried to scoop some out to hand feed them it was a rock. After letting it soften up my dogs ate it right up. These are kind of pricey but I’ve seen them go on sale time to time.

my dogs LOVE these! it has been unbearably hot where i live and one of the dogs is a husky that needs some sort of stimulation. i use these for training and he becomes the absolute best boy and listens to everything i say. he (finn) likes these so much, he will take the carton and lick all the bits left behind, even if there is nothing there.

My fur baby DROOL when I eat ice cream but, of course, it's not good for them. When I found Bear and the Rat I was so excited that this I CAN give them! I let it thaw awhile, then I scoop my ice cream, and we all "share" a cool, sweet treat together. And THEY don't know the difference! You bet I will be buying this again.

My Dog is a huge fan of the pupaccinos that they offer at Starbucks, so I had very high hopes for these Frozen Yogurt Dog Treats from The Bear and The Rat. And just as I expected my little guy absolutely loved these on a hot summer day. I could hardly put the container down and it was devoured. It honestly is so much fun seeing how excited and happy these little treats make her. For that alone, I will be purchasing this treat option again even though it isn’t really great for my budget!

My dog loves this. The first time we gave it to her, she started eating the container once she finished the ice cream. Good long lasting treat.

Dog loves them
This broth topper is super convenient to add some great nutrition to my dog's food. I like to put it over dry food to moisten it and also over my homemade food to make it more nutritious. Overall a easy and convenient way to increase my dog's nutrient intake.
