Ice in the water

Is it ok to put ice cubes in your dogs water?

My velvet loves ice cubes and if one drops on the floor she gobbles it up, I thought about putting some in her water but I guess I wont

Ice is ok for dogs. The only real concern is possibly choking or maybe breaking a tooth. There was a rumor on the internet a while back that ice cubes or ice water could kill them but that's not the whole truth. The rumor was based on a dog drinking too much water at once which caused bloat. Bloat can be fatal for dogs. It can occur when a dog quickly consumes a large amount of room temperature water, ice water, or even food. The other concern is cooling an overheated dog too fast. Again, an ice cube or a moderate amount of ice water is not a problem.
