I have been giving my dog ice cold water for years in there pool and water
buckets to keep them cool in this very hot summer . Knock on wood none of mine
bloated from it yet , but that is the only way they will go into there doggie
pool if its ice cold . And thought I been helping them stay cool , most put
there feet in it and drink it at the same time . Have two that will lay down in
it to get cool off right away .
Also I have been to AKC events were they had a baby pool with water in it with
a big chunk of ice in the pool . I know for a fact once I'm out there with my
dogs and come in I want ice cold drink to cool me off right away also . Its
good to see what other's have to say about this so I'm not hurting my dogs any
way . Now that I fenced my property in and most of all my dogs get along with
each other I can let them all out and go and cool off and lay on the cold
ground and pool all day .
