Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach today to find out if chocolate chip cookie dough ice creams poses any risk to your dog. Dogs can indulge in small amounts of some flavors of ice cream, but moderation is key; a spoonful or two of ice cream once or twice a week is generally OK. A few licks of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is unlikely to cause any problems, even if she ate a chocolate chip or two or some cookie dough. Because dogs have trouble breaking down lactose, consuming larger amounts of ice cream can lead to gastrointestinal issues. The high fat content of ice cream could also lead to more serious issues, including pancreatitis. Beware of sugar-free brands and flavors that contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is highly toxic to dogs. I hope Maggy enjoyed her snack! :-)
