Your veterinarian Marietta, GA will most likely tell you that ice cream or most other dairy products are not the best options when it comes to giving your Beagle a special treat. As dog owners, most of us tend to love giving our dogs something special every now and again. Many of us may have even given them ice cream. In general, Beagles and other dogs should not be given ice cream because it is a sugary filled food. Diets high in sugar can cause dental problems or even obesity. In addition, ice cream is a dairy product that contains lactose, another form of sugar that most dogs cannot digest. Most dogs are lactose intolerant and may develop loose stools or other stomach issues if they are given ice cream. Alternative treats include special made dog safe ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other dog friendly sweets. Click here for more details.
