Yahoo Lifestyle Dunkin' and BARK Are Launching a 'Pumpkin Spice' Toy Line Just in Time For Fall
Fall! It's here! Even though many parts of the US are still piping hot and it's kind of tough to break out your best Rory Gilmore sweater and headband combo, everyone is celebrating anyway. Your favorite coffee shops are rolling out the pumpkin spice lattes, candles are getting more pumpkin-y by the day, and cozy blankets are hitting the shelves.
Of all the iconic fall things, though, the food has to be the most iconic, and specifically, the pumpkin spice latte. It's inspired everything from actual drinks to candles, nail polish colors, and now... dog toys!
For the past five years, BARK has sold an exclusive collection of dog toys in Dunkin' select stores all over the country. This year, the collection is totally fall-themed with items like a signature Dunkin' latte, a mocha latte, a two-pack of pumpkin donuts, and best of all, a snackin' bacon dog toy with removable pieces!

These toys are made by BARK and held to their high toy safety standards, so they're made to be durable. They also cover several types of play: the snackin' bacon toy is perfect for dogs who love to pull things apart, while the latte toys are ideal for a good game of tug-of-war. All of the toys squeak, too!
If you want to get your hands on these toys, they'll be available in select stores and online starting on Tuesday, September 17th. Every toy sale donates to the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation, and they fly off the shelves like a dozen Dunkin' donuts at a 9am office meeting. If you want to support a good cause and get your paws on some good toys, you'd better go quick!
Dunkin' and BARK Are Committed to Doing Good
BARK is changing the game as far as toys are concerned, and they have been for a long time. Not only are they raising the bar in terms of quality, but they're constantly trying to raise awareness for those quality standards and encouraging people to learn. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let pet parents get a look behind-the-scenes in their toy-testing lab!
All of the toys in this collection are priced differently, and their prices are actually donations for the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation. Their prices are:
$15 for each of the latte toys
$15 for the pumpkin donut toy
$13 for the snackin' bacon toy
The Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation has multiple parts, but their main goals are to help children struggling with hunger or illness. Money given to the foundation through purchasing one of these toys or a direct donation provide food to local food pantries and grants to hospitals. The grants are used to spread joy, which could mean bringing in therapy dogs, providing coloring books, building playrooms in hospitals, and everything in-between.
By collaborating like this, BARK and Dunkin' are truly making good deeds sweeter than ever. Hurry up and get yours before they run out!
