When we learned about Phydough, a dog-centric food truck in Los Angeles, we thought it was a pretty great idea. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones. Bringing dog food and treats, especially canine ice cream, to the curbs of America appears to be an innovation whose time has come.

In the meantime, we’ve learned about a couple other roving treat vans we wanted to tell you about. (And we’d love to know about any more—tell us if there’s one in your city.)

This spring, Fido to Go launched a “gourmutt food truck” in Chicago, proffering natural, healthy dog treats, including hand-crafted canine cookies and doggy ice cream. Fido to Go is the brainchild of owner/founders Tracy Werner and Donna Santucci. Werner has owned and operated Natural Pet Market, a health food store for cats and dogs, in Wheaton, Ill., for nearly a decade, and Santucci has been a groomer for several years. Both women are also Red Cross certified in animal CPR and First Aid.

Fido to Go’s menu includes grain- and gluten-free baked cookies, whole-wheat biscuits and a variety of frozen treats. Plus, Fido to Go merchandise bags can be repurposed as (biodegradable) pet waste bags.

Werner and Santucci are passionate about helping homeless pets and often foster animals themselves. Their business cards double as trading cards, and feature adoptable dogs from local shelters, as well as customers’ four-legged family members. Follow Fido to Go’s daily routes and events on Facebook and Twitter @fidotogo. and look for the big yellow truck at Chicago’s Gay Pride Fest, June 24-25.

Meanwhile, Kim Bohstedt is in the process of getting her Poochsicles (and Bark Bites) truck ready for the streets of Atlanta. Although she’s a dog-lover, assisted by canine taste-testers at home, this is Bohstedt’s first foray into an animal-centered business.

Possibly as soon as next week, Poochsicles will be serving doggie ice cream, all natural, organic, corn-free, soy-free and dairy-free baked goods, as well selling retail items such as poop bags and fetch toys. The truck is schedule to debut next Saturday, June 25 at PAWS Atlanta.
