The ice cream you and I enjoy as humans is not safe for dogs. Luckily creating one that is couldn’t be easier. You just have to be aware of digestive issues that your pup may suffer from if it consumes milk or dairy products.
Dairy products like milk or cheese are not toxic to dogs but many, like humans, have digestive issues and need ingredients that are lactose-free.
