Everybody knows the importance of keeping dogs cool and well hydrated in the warm weather. Dogs can suffer heatstroke in just minutes, and they should have their body temperature gradually lowered for the best chance of survival.
But when it comes to giving your dogs ice cubes to stop them from suffering in the warmth, many people have been left wondering whether it's actually a good idea or not.
Some owners have been sharing that they give their dogs ice cubes in the summer months to help cool them down - but their recommendations have been met with speculation from vet professionals, with some suggesting that giving dogs ice on hot days can actually make them bloated, which is a big risk for larger dogs.
