Small pieces of plain ice are safe for healthy pets. Large hard cubes can stress teeth or cause choking if gulped. Offer small cubes or crushed ice with supervision.
Ice is frozen water served as cubes, chips, crushed pieces, or molded shapes for cooling drinks and snacks.
Used in cold drinks and as cooling treats during warm weather. Flavored ice, frozen broths, and pops may include sugar, salt, caffeine, or sweeteners.
Tray residue from cocktails or sports drinks can transfer flavor additives to cubes. Plain water ice is safer than flavored or commercial drink ice. Ice should supplement hydration, not replace fresh water.
