Foaming at the Mouth — in a Good Way

Now this is what dog lovers call a six pack.

A new beer can put your Labrador on a label. 3 Busy Dogs’ Bowser Beer is packaged in actual 12-ounce beer bottles that can be personalized with a picture of your dog.

The brew is hops and alcohol free; it’s marketed as safe for canine consumption, and it contains glucosamine, which some studies say improves mobility and reduces pain in older dogs and maintains joint health in younger dogs. (Always check with your vet to make sure these are OK for your pooch).

Plus, you can upload your pooch’s picture and see Fido’s slurpy tongue virtually lapping up the suds on a personalized bottle at www.3busydogs.com (which is being revamped, last we checked).

Will you want to share a Bowser Beer? You’ll have to ask your mutt for a brewski review.
