| Does your Yorkie Like Ice cubes? We started giving Baxter Ice Cubes to chew on since we thought he was teathing. Now he has started going and scratching on the refrigerator until we get him another ice cube. Its funny he pushes them around on the floor for a while and then crunches them up. Has anyone else noticed this behavior with thier dog? |

| Oh yes, ice cubes are fun and cheap toys. I gave them to Trixie too when she was teething and it worked great. Since Wisconsin is like an ice cube in the winter, I think I'm going to wait to give them to her again when it's warming up

| We put ice cubes in the puppies' water bowl and they love it! Sometimes they'll also chase an ice cube around on the floor. |

| yep, mine love ice. We have one of the ice dispensers in the door and as soon as they hear it...they run in to wait for their little piece!

| Ice cubes can be a refreshing treat to our Yorkies. I would like to add though that Yorkies chewing on ice can break their teeth so be cautious.

| Yes, Ruby gets ices cubes because all my drinks have to have ice in them and then i let her sick her snout into the cups and she really enjoys this. I really don't do it often though as I don't want her to get use to this. |

| Baby loves icecubes. I have a short video of her on my cell phone of her when she was just a baby chasing it around the kitchen floor. She "paws" at it like a cat!

| Sadie will sneak a cube when one drops out of the refrigerator ice maker. But, I am concerned about this. Can't they choke on these?

| Unfortunately, all three of mine LOVE ice. I am a chronic ice eater and the dogs sit at my feet fussing until I give in and share. If you're an ice eater like I am . . . Sonic sells bags of ice! I love their ice . . . its the little cylinder pellets.

| Princess loves ice!!! She must get it from me, because I eat ice all day. I have no idea why, but I have been this way for so many years. If I'm out on the road, I'll even stop at a fast food place, buy a soda, and tell them I just want the ice. My kids think I'm weird. LOL But, the way I look at it, ice is frozen water, and water is very healthy for you.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | My girls LOVE ice...anytime we get ice out the will wait and wait until a piece falls or we give them one!! They love to chase it around the floor and wait until it is really small and then chew it up....I agree that Sonic ice is defintely the best though!!

| Well Last night I realized that Sugar Bear is addicted to ice she sits on my desk and sticks her little head into my cup of water and gets her own ice out. I also give her ice in her water 3 or 4 times daily. She is to cute when she hears the ice machine she comes racing into the kitchen and dances around the ice maker tik I get her some in her water
