Bernese Mountain Dog Is Totally Different Before & After Getting His Pup Cup
What dog doesn't love a pup cup? The pet-friendly sweet treat handed out in a snout-size cup at places like Starbucks is always a hit with four-legged friends — just ask this demanding maltipoo that howls for one after just having one. Well, now we get to see the instantaneous effects of what a pup cup does to canine companions by watching this before-and-after TikTok of a Bernese mountain dog digging his mug into one.

The captioned clip declares "pup cup Friday is the BEST day of the week" before showing the Bernie named Thompson's adorable "pre-pup cup vs. post-pup cup" behavior. In the first half, the fluffy puppy is seen sadly lying on the floor while the second half films him excitedly lapping up the whipped cream-filled cup with wide-eyed eagerness. "I know those eyes anywhere," joked one viewer in the comments, and it seems safe to say that Thompson would like "pup cup Friday" to become a daily routine!
How to order a Starbucks pup cup
If your dog loves tagging along for coffee runs, Starbucks indeed has a little surprise waiting for them when they arrive as one of their secret menu items for dogs — their very own "puppuccino." Just ask the barista for it by name, or by simply calling it a "pup cup," and they'll usually hand over a small cup filled with whipped cream, often free of charge. While it's not listed on the menu or in the Starbucks app, most locations know exactly what you're talking about when you ask.
While that's the only direct dog-centric item the coffee chain serves, it isn't necessarily the only thing your pup can enjoy at Starbucks. Plain blueberries and bananas, oatmeal made with water, or even a crunchy ice cube are all good options if you don't want your pooch indulging in whipped cream. Just be sure to steer clear of anything with caffeine — like coffee, tea, and chocolate — and any other foods dogs cannot eat. Because, as adorable as it is, a Starbucks puppuccino should only be given to your four-legged friend as an occasional treat — no matter what their eyes say!
