Ice cubes and teeth golden retreivers;

Question
Hello, I have a question about ice cubes, and if they are bad for my Goldens teeth. I guess thats my question then. I live in Arizona, and it is HOT here! I try to walk my dog in the early mornings and later in the evening. When we get back home, I give her ice cubes to munch on. This cools her off quite well. Am I doing harm to her teeth? Ohh, she's 7 months old. Thank you for you time.

Answer
Hi Jared, Well I would not think you are NOT doing a dog harm with ice cubes... They eat hard bones and cartilage, right.
If you are worried, you can place the ice cubes in the blender and just Slightly break them up.

Again, I don't see a problem with this.

I hope your gal is eating a good food and taking the NuVET wafers..
That is where I would put my efforts.
Good foods are :
Wellness, Innova, Merrick, Solid Gold ....and many others: JUST ask me if you need help.

NuVET - Many goldens are on the Holistic NuVET Wafer vitamin:
