| Ice Water I was in supermarket before and on checkout line they have a stationary tv monitor with FYI. I caught the tail end of it. They were saying not to give ice water to dogs, but I didnt catch the reason why. Does anyone know why? Sometimes I stick a cube of ice in Gucci's water bowl, figuring it is good. Now I won't do it again.. Just want to pass this along , for does who do not know this .. Gina |

| Uh oh. I usually put an ice cube or two in Sophie's water. She loves it. Can't wait to find out why it is not a good thing. |

| I was told that ice cubes are good for teething? I give Macy 1/2 of one to chew on when it is hot outside- I hope it isn't bad for her she loves it!

| I have heard that stuff that is too cold can be a shock to their system. I don't think that includes Ice cubes because it takes them awhile to eat them. Ice water they drink fast and I think room temp is better. That is what I have heard.

| I have heard this too. Every dog that we've owned since I was little, we had always put ice in their water in the summer hot days. Never had a problem

| [QUOTE=ldstull]I found an article and it states that icewater can cause a dramatic change in temperature I can understand that. When I drink ice cold water, I get brain freeze due to the drop in temp. I put ice in Gus's water to keep it from gettin too warm. I don't and have never given any dog ice cold water.

| Hmmmm....now that's very interesting. I don't think that Teddy is going to like that seeing the little brat won't drink out of the self watering thing but instead stands by the water cooler and waits until I draw him a cold glass of water. Seriously, it's the only water he will drink! And what about all of the ice cream products for dogs that are becoming so popular wouldn't that do the same thing? Just seems weird to me I guess....
