Ours love ice cubes - I make a similar concoction to what Louise has described, using anything from Pilchards (in tomato sauce ) to blood from liver etc. The dogs love it and it helps keep them cool I also add ordinary ice cubes to their water bowls and my youngest goes round and fishes them out to eat Some dogs can get slightly upset stomachs if they eat too much ice, but it has never been a problem for us. I also feed raw, so they are getting their food either frozen (the older two) or partly frozen (the youngest).

Here is Ted enjoying his.

this was supposed to be for the bigger one but as you can see he's nicked it.

I've just given Bongo and Meg their lollies, and they must be enjoying them because even Meg (aka Hound of the Baskervilles) has gone quiet!

Ours get ice cubes. And when we go to the pub we give them the ice cubes out of our drinks! (I'm sure they're supposed to be to keep our drinks cool!)

Nothing can earn you doggy love like an ice cube on a hot day!

i always give ice cubes gem has a smashing time with them also ice poles ,ice lollys but best of all is jublies ,a bit more tricky to get hold of now ,but you could make your own odd shaped ones ,also to give a quick cool off i wiped gems face /neck with a cold flannel from time to time also her earlobes and tummy seems to help ,

foxy ;
note i didnt say her bottom

Cassie loves her ice cubes and I also fill her kong with water and freeze it! Keeps em quiet as well

Jet loves his ice cubes. i put 3 or 4 in his water so he has to fish for them.

Tried my dog with ice cubes and he choked himself on it in his rush to swallow it

Mine help themselves to ice cubes as we have one of the fridge/freezers that have the ice cube thing on the door. We didn't teach them to do it, they just watched us! Never done mine any harm either.

Hi All

Whenever any of us go to the freezer the dogs come running. They think the freezer is just for them with the ice cubes. They all play football with the cubes first. I must put some treats into them next time great idea.

Take care
