Sometimes the most delightful way to satisfy our sweet tooth is with a cold treat – an ice cream cone covered with sprinkles, a thick and creamy milkshake, or an old-school sundae piled high with all of our favorite toppings. When we treat ourselves, we usually want the same for our dogs. Next time you’re craving a sweet treat, check out these spots that serve some of the best pup cups in Pennsylvania.
Reminder: Before heading out for a pup cup, confirm days and hours on the ice cream shop’s website or social media.
