Rose Sat Down With a Vanilla Cone. Yeti Moved Fast.

One little taste, and Yeti's tongue is already out. Rose sits curled on her couch beneath a mustard yellow throw, wearing a chunky cream cardigan, holding a vanilla cone in her hand. Her smile is gentle and a little indulgent as the big white Samoyed leans his fluffy head toward the scoop, pink tongue reaching for a lick. Sunlight slants through the window, catching a potted plant, a wicker basket of yarn with knitting needles sticking out, and a mug on the side table. It's a cluttered, comfortable room, and the moment feels like a small, sweet secret between the two of them.

Dogs love a taste of ice cream, but it isn't the best treat to share. Many adult dogs have trouble digesting lactose, so dairy can bring gas, diarrhea, or an upset stomach. Ice cream also contains a lot of sugar and fat. More importantly, some flavors are dangerous: chocolate is toxic to dogs, and certain sugar-free products contain xylitol, a sweetener that can be life-threatening even in small amounts. Raisins and some nuts found in mix-ins can also cause problems. If you want to share a frozen moment with your dog, there are safer options, such as frozen dog-specific treats or a little plain, unsweetened yogurt in small amounts if your dog tolerates it. Always check labels, and if your dog eats something with chocolate or xylitol, contact your vet or a pet poison hotline right away.

Rose may be a soft touch, but she knows Yeti well. A tiny taste now and then is all it takes to keep that famous smile shining.
