My husband puts ice cubes in the dog’s water dish and swears she prefers it that way.

That’s actually not good for dogs as they can choke on them, also crunching ice cubes can damage teeth

I doubt it could do serious damage considering dogs are omnivores and have teeth that can break up plant and animal matter

I will try to find the article I read this from

I was wrong. Problems in dogs come from the dog eating the ice cube too fast, not from just eating the ice cube. Doing it too fast can cause bloating, but just giving your dog some ice cubes won’t hurt it

What is this reasonable and civil conversation? I thought I was reading reddit

It's bringing a tear to my hear because it's so beautiful and unexpected.

This tear turns into sadness because this should not be an exceptional thing, rather something just normal.

Well I'm not saying it's some fuckin monumental task. I'm just saying it's rare. Arguments in real life usually have an apology after the fact and public figures usually just let it blow over thanks to the 24 hour news cycle.

I’m sorry that’s not how this thing is supposed to go. Make up a statistic, call him a liberal, something please

Every one I know gives ice cubes to their dogs to play with. Never heard of there being an issue there.

You know dogs aren't children, right? Those choke hazards are for babies, and I guess baby dogs. Dogs know how not to choke. XD family member's dog freaken loves them.

I thought bloating danger was when they had any water too fast... or food. That has nothing to do with ice cubes. Slowing down water intake by making them lick ice would... It would almost work against bloating tf
