Beggin’ and Minecraft team up to create a blocky bite for dogs
Beggin’ is leveling up snack time with the debut of Beggin’ Blocks—a limited-edition release inspired by the iconic grass and dirt blocks from A Minecraft Movie. Infused with real bacon and crafted to capture the look of the game’s most recognizable cubes, these playful treats let your pup join in on the adventure, whether you’re watching the movie for the first time or reliving it for the nth time.
At its core, Beggin’ is all about celebrating the special bond between pets and their people, with treats as a simple but meaningful way to connect. “One of the many things that brings dogs and people together is dog treats,” said Dr. Annie Valuska, a pet behavior scientist at Purina. “Whether you’re using dog treats during play or just giving them a well-deserved snack, the treating moment can help strengthen the bond between you and your dog. And with these A Minecraft Movie-inspired treats, your dog will feel like Dennis whenever Steve accidentally drops a pork chop!”
Beggin’ Blocks are available nationwide in both 6oz and 25oz packs, priced at $3.99 and $12.49, but fans should act fast, as they’re only here for a limited time.

What’s A Minecraft Movie about?
Released in 2025, A Minecraft Movie is an American fantasy adventure comedy inspired by Mojang Studios’ 2011 blockbuster video game. The film was directed by Jared Hess with a screenplay by Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener, Gavin James, and Chris Galletta, based on a story from Allison Schroeder, Bowman, and Palmer. The star-studded cast features Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen, alongside Jennifer Coolidge, Rachel House, Jemaine Clement, and Hess in supporting roles.
The story follows four outsiders who are suddenly transported through a portal into Minecraft’s signature blocky realm. To return to their own world, they must team up with Steve, the game’s “expert crafter,” and embark on a perilous yet comedic quest.
The film premiered at London’s Empire, Leicester Square, on March 30, 2025, before its worldwide theatrical release on April 4. While critics were divided, audiences turned out in droves—earning the movie $957 million globally against a $150 million budget. It became the third-highest-grossing film of 2025 and the second-most successful video game adaptation in box office history. A sequel is already in development.
