We often find our four-legged friends scheming to get a bite of human food. Even if it's just a crumb. There are some people food we don't mind giving to dogs, and some we just absolutely won't let them try. For example, ice cream. There are many alternatives for frozen treats though. There are popsicles and dog ice cream.
Yes, dog ice cream is a thing! If you're wondering why this doggy ice cream is safe for them, it's because it's grain-free and lactose-free. The ingredients consist of evaporated cane juice, lactose-free whole milk, gelatin, peanuts, and salt. The best part is that it doesn't even arrive frozen. Just add water and freeze the ice cream treat for your best friend!
Why Can't Dogs Have Ice Cream?
Your dog's stomach is most likely too sensitive to handle a dairy product like ice cream. Ice cream can give your dog diarrhea. Don't risk giving your dog a hard time trying to digest milk. (Bloating is no fun.) Also, it's possible that your dog could be allergic! Food allergies make dogs very itchy. Check out these ice cream alternatives.
