The upcoming Girl Scout cookie season will have two brand-new treats — including one for dogs.
The organization collaborated with Bark on its first canine cookie, Patch Pals, which will debut in the 2027 lineup.
“For four-legged family members, Patch Pals offer a playful new way to take part in the fun,” reads a release shared with PEOPLE.
The soft-baked, blueberry muffin-flavored dog treats were inspired by “Girl Scouts’ deep love for their dogs” and celebrate “the bond between people and their pups.”

Each cookie has one of one of four “patch” designs to represent “iconic Girl Scout experiences,” the release notes.
Girl Scouts’ other new release is its first allergy-friendly cookie, Girl Scout Sparkables.
“Girl Scout Sparkables bring a new level of inclusivity to the Girl Scout Cookie portfolio as its first-ever cookie developed for families navigating certain food allergies,” the release says, noting that the product was developed with Partake in a special facility free from nine major food allergens.
Sparkables, crunchy oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and sprinkles, are gluten -free, nut-free and vegan.
“Inspired by Girl Scouts around the country who have advocated for expanding the cookie lineup to meet the diverse needs of their communities, Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables offer new ways for more girls, families and beloved pets to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program — while staying true to what makes the tradition special,” the release said of the new online-exclusive items.

Classics such as Thin Mints, Samoas (or Caramel deLites) and Tagalongs (or Peanut Butter Patties) will be returning alongside the pair of newcomers.
Last year, PEOPLE exclusively revealed the addition of Exploremores, a nostalgic new flavor that debuted during the 2026 season.
The sandwich cookies are inspired by rocky road ice cream and feature flavors of chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème.
Girl Scout Cookie season runs from January through April, but local timing and availability varies. To find a booth near you, visit girlscoutcookies.org or text COOKIES to 59618 for more information.
Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables will be available for purchase starting on Jan. 12, when the 2027 cookie season launches nationally.
