If I had a dog, I'd put ice in thier water too! When I watch my boss's dogs, I always give them ice water.
In the summer, I add water to my cat's fountain. Why wouldn't they want cool water too??

I also put ice cubes in their water on real hot days.
Well, if you are crazy for doing this then it looks like alot of us are ;).
I occasionally put ice in the pups' water and they both like to crunch on ice like a treat. Especially Katie.
LOL my mom's pup, Twilight LOVES ice!! She will beg and beg until you give her some. She likes to eat it, but first she will bat it around the floor until it melts about half way :rolleyes:
My friend who has a Boston Terrier puts ice cubes in her dogs pool. the dog has so much fun prancing around in the pool watching the cubes float around. LOL
We always put ice in our dogs' water tub in the summer. I can't imagine NOT doing it for them. They deserve cool drinks in the hot weather as much as, if not more than, any humans I know!
When I put ice in their water dish, Lucy likes bobbing for the ice cubes. I think it is so cute. She also likes to just eat ice.
I give them ice cubes to play with sometimes, but it's rare that I put them in their bowls. I fill their bowl up several times a day and it's in a nice cool air conditioned house, so it stays a nice temperature all day. I have water outside for them too, in a shaded area of the patio, but they usually head back inside to drink.
I think I'll toss some ice cubes in there tonight and see if they'll play with'em though.

I put cubes in MAXIMUS bowl before, and he barked at it. Maybe I should try it again. He won't eat ice cubes, but he'll chase them all over the kitchen trying to lick them.
I put them in Maggie and Sadie's outside bowl sometimes. Maggie likes to scoop them out and play with them all the time getting all the water out of the bowl. It doesn't hurt them so what's the big deal. :)
Both my dogs love ice water:)
I put ice in their bowls all the time. Speedo likes to try to fish out the cubes to play with. I also freeze water in larger containers (like yogurt & ice cream ones) so I can put a really big chunk in their waterbucket. It lasts a long time and they seem to like the cooler water.
