With the heat getting hotter, those who are forced to walk their dogs know that one of the best solutions is a good ice cream and that animals appreciate a cold snack to take to their bodies to cool them down, just as much as their owners. That’s why the Capello ice cream parlor (Carrer del Doctor Fleming, 3), a classic in the Santa Eulàlia neighborhood of L’Hospitalet, has jumped on the bandwagon of offering a menu of ice creams designed specifically for pets.
So, this summer, if you pass by Doctor Fleming street with your furry friend, he will also be able to cool off with a tub designed especially for them. The canine ice creams are made by the BarksnBites brand with safe and natural ingredients such as chicken, beef, carrot, Greek yogurt or watermelon. A formula designed to take care of their health without giving up the summer pleasure.
Guide to ice cream parlors for dogs in Barcelona
Capello is neither the only nor the first ice cream parlor for dogs in Barcelona. That the animals of a few eat better than many is no surprise and Barcelona, queen of trends, is no exception in this. That’s why for some years now there have been several ice cream parlors that offer canine versions (that humans can also try) so that pets have as much fun as their owners eating in summer.
Badiani
This Italian gelato shop with a Florentine tradition has joined the movement with its Dog Gelato, made with 96% less lactose and sweetened with fructose. It has the veterinary seal of approval and is also suitable for humans. In fact, many try it and repeat.

Il Gelato dell’Amore
Here dogs can indulge more than the owner: tuna ice cream , cooked ham or roast chicken, and fruit options such as apple, pear and kiwi. All are vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, sugar-free and designed for sensitive stomachs. They cost €3.50 and come with a feeder and a canopy for selfies. The result? A festival of tongues wagging and queues wagging.
