    My dogs love ice cubes and chew on them all summer long. I put cubes in our cats water dish and they play with them & try and fish them out. I can't speak for all dogs, some dogs may like them, & some may not, dogs and cats are individuals, just like humans!

    @ apple picking - it is impossible for a dog to choke on ice. Ice MELTS! Dogs chew ice cubes. If some of the water "went down the wrong way", just like what happens when this happens to humans, the dog would cough it up.

    I have had some dogs that would chew on ice, some who lick it, and others who ignore it.

    Really depends on the dog. As ice is nnothing but frozen water it's really the texture that makes the difference...and temp. so my dog, loves ice, she crunches it, likes to lick it. Other dogs I've seen with ice don't even look at it. They rpefer water. It's like asking a human if they like crushed or cubed ice. Texture difference.

    Source(s): There's not really a site on 'do dogs like/dislike ice'. So my source is my dogs....just like all the others have been doing!

    One of my dogs like to eat ice cubes and the other one likes to smack them around for fun. My aunt's dogs don't do anything with them though so it just depends on the dog.

    My aunt's dog Evo LOVES ice he will get as a treat after being in the hot sun. He eats it really fast and sometimes my aunt uses the ice to bribe him into going in to the cage.

    You mean to eat? My only source is anecdotal and that is that my snowdogs love ice, they pull it out of their bowls in winter, eat it and play with it, but I don't know about other dogs, I guess some will, some won't, like us

    do no longer take her interior at contemporary after she pees. If she likes taking part in contained in the snow, she'll basically play for awhile till she sounds like getting in, then she'll bypass. So permit her play for a minute or 2 after she pees, then carry her in. Your dogs is in all probability using that element as an danger to play, and luxuriate in being with you. So permit her, yet study to decrease it. teach her the "bypass potty" or "bypass bathing room" cue. maximum canines study this beautiful quickly, becuse they understand going out ability bypass to the bathing room. Then permit her play for a couple of minutes (if she needs to). then returned, you should locate someplace to tie her so as that she must be ignored for awhile on her own.

    Out of seven dogs I have two that love ice cubes.

    A third is mildly interested, but loses interest after a minute or so.

    The others have no interest.
