Dog Ice Cream
It’s tempting to feed dogs the ice cream, but those products contain ingredients that aren’t great for your dog’s health.
Sugar is found in big doses through most ice cream brands which is bad for your dog. It rots their teeth and adds weight. There are also flavours like vanilla and added chocolate which your dog should not eat.
The solution is to make your own dog ice cream. It doesn’t take long either.
