🧊 I do not recommend ever offering pets ice water because in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, cold causes stagnation in the gut. Water should be served at room temperature. If you want to give your pet something cool to help combat the heat, try giving them a frozen treat instead.

❄️ A frozen treat is different than ice water because of the volume given. A small frozen treat will have minimal impact compared to a large volume of cold water. Frequency matters as well. The more the gut is insulted by cold, the greater chance of symptoms of stagnation. Everything in moderation. A frozen treat or ice cube here and there isn't going to pose a huge problem. Giving ice water on a consistent basis will eventually lead to stagnation.

In Fast CAT, the dog chases a lure for 100yds. Their time is converted to mph, which are then accumulated as points towards an AKC title.
