My 5-month-old Aussie ate milk and cookies ice cream. Is she okay?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 27 days old | 25 lbs

Hi. My son made me aware just now that at about 4 this afternoon, my 5 month old Aussie consumed about a half of a pint of milk and cookies ice cream. She has shown no sign of being sick but I would rather ask than not know

I bet Luna enjoyed the ice cream! Fortunately, I would not expect this to cause any problems aside from possibly an upset stomach - there isn't enough chocolate in this ice cream to worry about toxicity issues. She may have some mild diarrhea or vomiting over the next 12-24 hours, but otherwise should be just fine.
