There is a post circulating on a couple of other lists I'm on about the risks of giving your dog ice or ice water in the summer. The writer says it causes stomach contractions and bloat can result. I give my dogs ice cubes when they are exercising in the summer all the time, as well as ice water. And, we just got a nifty present--a big plastic tub with a stand I can fill with water and freeze, and then put outside on a metal post (sort of a doggie popsicle) in the summer. So, I'm wondering--is this true--cold water or ice can cause bloat, or is it an urban legend?
