Karyne Bazzano of
Pavlov’s Treats For Dogs
brings Maya a homemade
dog ice cream treat.
Dog Days of Summer
We’re all familiar with the sound of an ice cream truck on a hot summer’s day, with kids begging their parents for a cold, sweet treat. And now, there’s something
for all our furry friends, too, thanks to Karyne Bazzano, CEO and inventor of Pavlov’s Treats For Dogs. The plan for her food truck? Selling a number of fun dog
treats and ice cream to dog walkers and their pups across Rhode Island and Massachusetts (hence the name Pavlov, inspired by the famous Russian physiologist
and his study on classical conditioning involving dogs and hunger). Bazzano’s dog-walking business, Sniff Snout in Boston, had been walking more than 100
dogs a week until social distancing orders came into place. That business is currently on hold because owners have been working from home and walking their
own dogs. Bazzano was forced to shift gears. The truck offers a drool-worthy dog waffle bowl complete with a scoop of homemade dog ice cream (yogurt,
peanut butter, bananas and either squash or potatoes) with a dog biscuit on top. Other treats include a spaghetti and meatball blend, which is cooked with squash
and chicken, and a chicken and waffles combination is in the works. “I want it to be [like] Del’s for dogs,” Bazzano says. sniffsnout.com. —ISABELLE PAQUETTE
