5 tips for keeping your dog or cat cool during the summer
3. Ice, ice baby. Ice cubes can cool and slow down your dog’s water intake while also serving as a simple cooling treat.
“There’s something that goes around the Internet periodically that says never give your dogs ice or ice water,” Drummond says. “It is absolute bullshit. Completely incorrect.” In fact, Drummond says ice cubes are one of his dog’s favorite treats. And in the summertime he regularly dumps enough ice cubes in his dog’s water bowl so that it creates a layer of ice on top, “to quench his thirst while also slowing him down so he doesn’t drink too much water … and throw up.”
