| Thank you for posting this. I have also given mine ice water and had no idea this could happen. Edit: read the above post, it's a myth then?

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Since the stomach is made of so much muscle, I can see why this made the rounds of FB, blogs, and forums. But I agree w/ snopes in that I highly doubt ice can, in and of itself, cause stomach cramps and/or bloat.

| Bella loves ice, and I always prechew it into smaller pieces for her, just in case. I also pretreat the ice by soaking it in water so that it is not super-cold. I don't want her getting frostbite in her mouth, or brain freeze (if that's even possible for a Yorkie, LOL!). |

| I have been told by a vet that ice can break teeth my mom has also been told chewing on ice for humans is a big no no to because it will also break humans teeth.

| *sigh* I just started reading up on giving ice to dogs to chew on, and the majority consensus of the articles is that it is dangerous to give dogs ice to chew on because it can break teeth. I can't find any research articles on it, but advice columns written by veterinarians say that they have seen cases where dogs have cracked or chipped their teeth by chewing on ice cubes. Now I'll have to find a new "candy" for Bella to chew on, and I'll have to say "no" to her while she constantly stares at my glasses of cold beverages, waiting for me to finishing drinking so she can get the ice cubes . |

| Chewing ice "occasionally" won't break teeth. If you chew ice constantly, then yes, your teeth can possibly be damaged. My pups love ice, and I give them crushed ice from the freezer as a treat in their water-it's fun to watch them bob for it with their paws. Ps. I can tell you that I am never without a cup of ice to chew, and I have been that way for a solid 5 years, and my teeth haven't broken. I empty the ice machine at my house and both of them at my office, several times daily, in my constant need to chew ice. Is ice really that much harder than kibble? Our ice is kind of soft and slushy when it's crushed,,,
