"The small dog ice cream is too small this size was great we have a Saint Bernard so this does one serving and enough so he taste instead of just swallowing whole!"

— Summer

""I absolutely love treating my dog to a cold treat after her walk in sunny Arizona and have been faithful about buying the same brand of ice cream and made the HUGE mistake of buying a different brand. The consistency was completely off and the color. It was vanilla ice cream yet it looked like choc..."

Bottom Line

If you're considering this ice cream mix for your dog, it might be wise to look for alternatives. The inconsistency in quality and the reported issues with the product's texture and safety may not justify the risk.
