when i still had two dogs, the female would go over to her water dish and even if it was full, if it had been sitting for awhile, she would give me that "waiter, some ice please!" look. she would drink only after i placed a bowl of cold, ice-filled water in front of her. the male is less choosy, but he likes fresh cold water with ice in it, too.
I've always given my dogs popsicles I make them out of something like blueberry yogurt and they lick them out on the grass in summer. I don't think they're that much different from us and we drink ice water. But I guess there's not much point in doing it. It could give them a tummy ache. Bloat...that's a stretch it sounds like.
My dog Chloe's favorite treat is a peanut butter ice cube. (ice cube with tsp peanut butter frozen in it.) When I take ice out of the freezer for me, she comes running for her cube! Sometimes theo will eat one, sometimes not, and Chloe steals his if he doesn't eat it quickly. No bloat. The also both prefer ice/very cold water to room temp. Thank goodness there's no ice in the toilet bowl or Chloe would never drink out of her water dish. Ha!
mmmm...hope its wrong. Dex likes cool water. Wasn't there a rumor going around a year ago about how if we drank ice water it could cause a heart attack because of our food not digesting properly. It was debunked, thank goodness. I love ice water.
The trainer at the ZoomRoom recommends ice on hot days so the dogs can cool off slowly and avoid taking in large amounts of water and possibly bloating.
