炎炎夏日 狗狗可以食「冰」嗎?

Can dogs eat "ice" in hot summer?

The weather is hot and toasty, and the temperature goes up to 35 degrees every day. You sweat profusely whenever you go outside, and not to mention your dog. Can we refreash them with a taste of ice?

The answer is yes, but you have to pay attention to the portion, and the shape and size of the ice.
Although the ice will melt, there is still a risk of suffocation, and eating too much may damage your dog's teeth.

How is it safer to give Ice?

  1. Fine-grained ice or "shaved ice" can help prevent suffocation and tooth damage.
  2. Use boiled water or sticks to make ice cubes.
  3. Some dogs prefer drinking water with ice, while other dogs prefers drinking directly.
  4. It is not recommended to feed ice to puppies growing teeth.
  5. Fed your dog bit by bit because ice can trigger your dog's trachea can cause a sudden contraction.
