General Question Ice Cube Question

[Baconator]

Is it bad for your bullies teeth to feed them ice cubes on a consistent basis? I figured that it wouldn't bother them being that they chew on bones and antlers all the time.

Not that I have ever heard or read....

I don't think so. If they can chomp through the deer antlers and other hard bones I doubt that the ice cubes will cause a problem.

Well if it is bad then it will have to be just that as Dublin eats ice cubes all the time. I don't know what we would do here in FL if she didn't, and her treat just before she goes to sleep is a few ice cubes. She always like ice cubes in her water bowl.. So far, so good.

I've never had any problems giving any of my dogs ice cubes. Problem is keeping some for my drinks

I've never heard of a problem.

Never heard of it being a problem... Moe runs to fridge for a cube when he hears the ice dispenser churning.

I don't think so, ice can't be any harder than deer antlers , bones, or marrow bones.

No problem at all, I have however heard never give a bunch of ice to an overheated bully, can cause bloat, something about the cold in their tummy when they are too hot. Note a panting bully in the summer is okay but just not if they are overheated. Best to cool them with a spritz or cool cloths on their skin.

Giving ice in the winter time is great!! They tend to not drink enough during this time so this gives them the fluids they need, helping to prevent winter UTI!!!

When Monty gets ice cubes he doesn't chew them up; he licks them instead.

hahaha I wasn't trying to be like that, I honestly wanted to know because Bacon probably gets 90% of his water on a daily basis via ice cubes. It makes things more manageable when your entire upstairs is hard wood floors, and someone shoves their entire face into the water bowl when given the opportunity.
