So, what's so special about this ice from Sonic?

I'm just curious, 'cause we don't have them around where I live.

Oh, it's so good. It's like small round shaped pieces of ice. It's almost like fluffy ice if that even makes sense lol! You know how you have to like... bite hard on regular ice to break it? This just crushes up easily between your teeth and it's in really small pieces.

You can find anything on Google, I love it!

Lexi loves her ice cubes! When she hears the ice maker, she comes running.

We had a cocker-chow mix that loved ice cubes. She would grab it with her paws then when it would shoot out, run after it.

It's like the ice they give you in the hospital....fluffy is a great way to put it!

My Roxie loves ice too. I've never even worried about her choking on it. I figure it will melt pretty quickly. They could choke on their own food just as easily and it doesn't melt. Let them have fun with it and enjoy watching, it's a riot.
You can also take a small bowl or some sort of container filled with water and freeze some toys into it. Once it's frozen run a little water over the container to help release it. It's great on a hot day and they have fun and get refreshed!

Oh yes, my babies LOVE ice! I have miniature ice trays for them and when they see me get my ice out they line up and wait to see if I grab one of their trays

Point is YES both mine eat ice all the time. If they see I have a soda, they know they will get some for sure. I take a piece out of my glass and suck the Diet Pepsi off it and they get one after another after another after another

I give Leo ice all the time when we are out playing. He loves to play with it and lick it.

Well, the closest Sonic is over 25 mi. away, so I don't think my baby will be getting any soon. I wonder if she would like shaved ice? Anyone ever tried that?

Sonic ice is wonderful. It is pellet shaped and very easy to chew. My girls love to go riding in the car and get a glass of ice water (filled with Sonic ice, of course.) All three girls love to eat ice from the icemaker. I usually give them the crushed rather than the cubes. I freshen their water daily with it and offer it for them to eat when they want it. They had just as soon have a piece of ice than a doggy treat. They all love ice.

My lil one loves crushed ice also...I give it to her daily in her water bowl....then for an added treat I give her a full ice cube which she loves to play with...

Cinq1964 · 08-23-2008, 02:23 PM

Nolee loves ice also. Always has!

Punkin&Piper · 08-23-2008, 02:23 PM
