| Could ice cream, even the 'doggy' ones ever be good for dogs? Its not even really good for us lol. I guess the answer would be no it probably isn't good for them, but, I doubt a small amount will harm them. Its up to you. |

| I think a lot of people on here have given Frosty Paws to their Yorkies. Just like other treats, it's ok in moderation...I didn't realize that it was made by Purina, though

| I looked at the ingredietns the other day. It has BHA in it which is so bad. Some dog food companies (and people food companies) use it though. It also has an unnamed animal product in it. It just says animal fat. That could be beef fat or chicken fat. That would be fine. How do you know it isn't lizard fat or squirrel fat though? My mind runs a mile a minute.

| We gave them as treats this summer and only bought the 1 box my dogs turned into crazy monsters because it was sooo good. I thought they would kill each other and me for that matter!! lol Grayson and Abby loved them but I didn't like them so much while they ate. They did make the cutest noises I guess it's our version of mmmmmm

| Benji and Bella got a few over summer and they loved it. I only have them like 1/4 at a time thought. They started to go crazy every time I would open my freezer.

| Definately Ellie gets people ice cream quite often. She licks out the carton when it's not chocolate. It depends on how much your dog's stomachs can handle (because of the dairy).

| One of the food gurus on another forum that i frequent, said its really not good for them. She suggest taking some plain yougurt and freezing it and they will like that just as well.
