奇葩 猫喝上“酒”了 狗也喝上“咖啡”了
导读:歪果仁真能玩,为了让狗狗更健康,竟然造起了狗喝的保健饮品“Rooffee”。
After the success of products like alcohol-free, grape-free “wine” for cats, it’s no surprise that someone is developing a caffeine-free, coffee-free “coffee” for dogs.
The name, though, has some people kind of shocked.
A lot of people ― including me ― initially thought a press release about a dog drink called “Rooffee” had to be a joke. But creator Agota Jakutyte swore she wasn’t kidding around and that she had no idea the name sounded like “roofie,” a colloquial term for the infamous “” drug Rohypnol.
The U.K.-based Jakutyte said she meant to combine the word “roots” — in reference to the product’s ingredients — and the word “coffee.”
“Unfortunately, I haven’t Googled it well,” she told HuffPost in an , adding she plans to change the name.
“Rooffee” isn’t available commercially yet. Jakutyte, who runs the pet product company Shoo, has set up a Kickstarter to fund the product. The page refers to Rooffee as a “wild nordic biohack” for your dog’s “morning routine.”
She says the drink — which contains only dandelion, hawthorn, chicory, carrots burdock and fulvic acid — actually originated with an herbalist who gave her a similar concoction for her own health. It was her own dog, named Crete, who tipped her off to the idea that canines might be interested, too.
“Well, one morning, I was drinking my special coffee (Rooffee with MCT oil and coconut butter) and writing my morning affirmations while I noticed that Crete … was licking my coffee,” she said.
After doing some research, Jakutyte said, she figured out that the herbal mixture could be good for both people and dogs, and the product was born.
When asked about Rooffee’s ingredients, veterinarian Katy Nelson, who hosts “The Pet Show,” told HuffPost that pet owners should make sure to consult with their own veterinarians before adding any special supplements to an animal’s diet, especially those that don’t have scientific studies indicating they work.
