Almost everyone loves to eat ice cream—What better to eat cold desserts in hot weather? When we eat ice cream in summer, the dog may be looking at it at your feet. In other words, is it safe for your dog to eat ice cream?

Potential health problems, it is dangerous for dogs to eat ice cream

1. Ice cream is not a healthy snack for dogs, and while occasionally a small amount of vanilla ice cream or mango sorbet may not let your dog visit the veterinary, ice cream should not be a regular treat for your dog.

2. Adult dogs are not really ready to deal with lactose stomach. While they can digest milk like puppies (they are mammals after all), they really can’t digest milk like adults. Failure to handle dairy products can lead to bloating, gas, diarrhea and vomiting. In most cases, your dog may just be a little bloated. But if you give your puppy a lot of ice cream, your dog’s reaction to dairy products may be even more severe. In addition, dogs with diabetes or weight problems should stay away from ice cubes

3. The high sugar content in ice cream is not good for your dog. Even "sugar-free" ice cream is dangerous because xylitol is toxic to dogs. In fact, ice cream containing any artificial sweetener may not be feasible for your puppy. Many flavors of ice cream are also potentially dangerous to dogs. Chocolate is dangerous because dogs cannot digest cocoamin. Because of the caffeine content, both coffee and green tea ice cream are dangerous. Any ice cream containing grapes or raisins is potentially dangerous, and even small doses can lead to acute renal failure. Finally, some nuts are dangerous to dogs. Macadamia are dangerous to your dog – although scientists don’t know why. Pecans, walnuts and almonds are not toxic to dogs, but too high in fat is not good for health.

How to safely provide ice cream for your dog

Safely eat ice cream for your dog

1. If you decide to give your dog ice cream, stick to fruity ice cream or original vanilla. Be sure to feed a small amount at the beginning to make sure it doesn't disturb your dog's stomach. If your dog's stomach disagrees with dairy products, you may see symptoms such as bloating, gas, vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea within two hours.

2. If you want to give your dog a refreshing meal in the summer, consider making homemade ice cream for your puppy. Push bananas, peanut butter and a little yogurt (lower lactose than ice cream) to make a delicious meal that you can freeze at home. You can also add some oats, apples, or other healthy, dog-friendly ingredients.

3, vegan "delicious butter" and frozen yogurt may also be better for your dog, as they are usually lower in sugar and lower in dairy (or not included). Like any rich new food, feed your puppy a little bit first. Wait for a few hours to see how she reacts to the food and give her more.

What to do if your puppy ate ice cream by itself

1. If your dog eats ice cream without your "permit", stay calm first. Find out what the ice cream tastes and how much your dog eats. If your dog isn't eating any dangerous ingredients, they may be fine. However, they may have a smoke on their butts or need to have a few extra potty times, so you must not want your dog to stay at home.

2, but if your dog eats ice cream containing artificial sweeteners, macadamia nuts, coffee, chocolate, grapes or raisins, you may be in a serious condition. Animal poison control can help you determine what to do next. That is, don't delay going to the veterinarian.

The most important thing is that as a general rule, ice cream is not a good food for dogs. Peanut butter, bananas and yogurt puree can be delicious frozen foods. There are too many potentially dangerous ingredients for dogs when eating ice cream.
