Is it safe to give my dog ice cream and curd with rice in summer?

Thank you for relying PetCoach today to ask if you can give your dog [strawberry](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/strawberries/) ice cream. Yes and no. A small amount of strawberry [ice cream](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/ice-cream/) occasionally may be fine, but it could also lead to stomach upset in sensitive dogs. Most dogs are lactose intolerant, which means they may have difficulty digesting dairy products. If you choose to offer strawberry ice cream, make sure it does not contain xylitol (an artificial sweetener), chocolate, [raisins](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/raisins/) or macadamia nuts. These ingredients are all toxic to dogs.

Thank you for relying PetCoach today to ask if you can give your dog ice cream cone. I can't say that it's the best idea for Jovie, but I would be lying if I said I haven't give my dog a small amount of [ice cream](https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/ice-cream/) from time to time. You might expect some diarrhea from ice cream, but that is likely the worst consequence she may have. Beagles have tough tummies in my experience since they tend to eat just about everything. Minor upset can typically be managed at home with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to the regular diet afterwards.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Temperature has no effect on bladder stones. A fan is fine to use to keep pets cool. Also make sure they have access to shade if they are outside. Please do not feed Cointhee any ice cream or other dairy products. Pets do not have the enzymes to break dairy down and it can cause diarrhea. As long as he has access to cool water to drink, that will be enough. Kisses to Cointhee!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dogs typically do not have a complete intolerance to dairy, but as it is not a mainstay of their dietary needs, it can cause GI upset. I typically do not recommend giving dogs straight milk, and lower sugar ice creams can have artificial sugars (such as xylitol) which are toxic to dogs. Regular ice cream or cheese can be fine in small amounts but it based on each individual animal. If you want to give your dog anything dairy as a small treat, only start with one thing in very small amounts to see how Brody tolerates it and ensure he doesn't develop any vomiting/diarrhea.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dogs and cats are actually lactose intolerant. Some do handle certain dairy products ok while others develop tummy upset (vomit and diarrhea). If you want to give Bruno dairy products start with small amounts to see how he handles it. If he develops tummy upset he shouldn't be fed dairy. Have a great day!

I would only place a few ice cubes in the bowl so that your pet doesn’t get a brain freeze type headache. Otherwise it should be fine. Just also keep in mind that keeping your pet in the shade (if left outside), leaving inside of temperatures are above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and providing fans are more effective methods of cooling off your pet. Best wishes with Hazel moving forward. Take care!

No, this is not a proper food at all for a puppy. Puppies require higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than adult dogs, and curd and rice will not provide his nutritional requirements at all. He needs to be on a dry puppy food. I recommend feeding him Royal Canin large breed puppy food.
