Is it okay to give my dogs ice cubes or put ice cubes in their water? I read an article that said that it caused bloat, like throwing a person into an ice-cold swimming pool, causing the muscles to dangerously constrict. When I looked it up on WebMD, they mentioned that dogs that are more at risk for this are ones with deep chests and narrow waists. Since Buster is my bicycling buddy and fits that description (dalmatian), I was particularly concerned, especially since I take a water bottle with me and share it with him when we’re riding.
