If you own a dog chances are you’ve probably given him ice cream at some point or another. There’s nothing wrong with a little lick here and there, but if you’re going to give your dog a summertime treat try to avoid this one. Ice cream can be fine for some dogs, but for other dogs, it can make them sick. This is primarily because dogs aren’t lactose tolerant. They don’t digest milk products very well and should avoid them if possible. Instead, you should give your dog a dog-friendly ice cream product such as Frozen Paws by Purina. This can be found in the refrigerated/frozen dog food section or with the people ice cream. You can also feed your dog frozen yogurt as well. Remember to feed in moderation even when the ice cream is dog-friendly. For more tips, talk with your veterinarians Bee Cave, TX.
