The weather seems to finally be consistently warm, which means it's that time of year for sweet cold treats for you — and your dogs!

Fetching the news: We put together a list of places where you can get a human treat, plus a pup cup for your good dog.

Most places listed offer either whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for free, as long as you purchase something else.
Some businesses charge for the pup cups, but come on, you know it's worth it.

Be smart: Just because it's not on an official menu, it does not mean pup cups are unavailable. You just gotta ask!

Of note: Dogs are not always allowed inside, so be prepared to leave your pup with a friend outside or — if they're very well-behaved — safely leashed up nearby.
