Why Ice Cream Should Be Avoided
Ice cream is problematic for dogs due to its high sugar and fat content, and because most dogs are lactose intolerant. Additionally, many ice cream flavours contain chocolate, coffee, raisins, macadamia nuts, or the artificial sweetener xylitol — all of which are toxic. Even "plain" vanilla ice cream is too rich for most dogs. If you want to give your dog a frozen treat, try frozen banana slices, frozen plain yogurt, or dog-specific ice cream alternatives.
