Following record-breaking temperatures this week, the RSPCA has settled a debate on whether owners can treat their dogs to ice cubes during heatwaves.
Some owners have been adding ice cubes to their dogs' water bowls, others have been expressing their concern about this causing issues with bloat or gastric dilation voluvulus (GDV), a rapidly progressive life-threatening condition to dogs.
However, the RSPCA has confirmed there has been no evidence to suggest dogs will suffer from GDV from eating ice cubes in warm weather .
