Product: DOGSTERS Ice Cream Style Treats for Dogs
Update: Since this review was first published, a few readers have shared that their dogs did not tolerate this treat well. My experience with Blue Belle was positive, but every dog is different. Please read through the comments and check with your veterinarian if you have any concerns before trying this product.
We received a request to review a treat for our dog, Blue Belle, DOGSTERS ice cream style treats for dogs. They are made in the USA (a key to this dog loving family) all natural, low fat and low calories. Dogsters says man’s best friend deserves healthy and delicious treats, too.
Who doesn’t love a good treat. BUT, the question on this beautiful fall day is will Blue Belle, the rescue dog, agree that a frozen treat is cool and refreshing and much better than staying under the tree to keep the pesky squirrels out of our yard.
The frozen treats are found in your grocery store alongside the frozen novelties. But because we are special (ok, we are just dog blogging reviewers, but we think we are special) we received ours at our front door packed on ice. We received two boxes of these delicious flavors:
- Mint
- Peanut Butter and Cheese
Each treat comes in a plastic container with a paper lid, so obviously you will want to keep an eye on your dog and throw the trash away, so they don’t eat up the container.
I think you will agree when you see Blue Belle’s reaction that she thinks they truly are DELICIOUS!
HORRIBLE ! I gave some to all of the dogs at a get together (4) dogs …. Every last one of them were sick , vomiting with diarrhea. One was so un oriented after all of the puking , I thought she was going to die . & no they didn’t eat or drink anything else together , none were sick to being with . It was as soon as they finished with the ice cream about 30 min later ! I will never buy from them again !
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m truly sorry to hear that all four dogs became ill—that must have been frightening, and I’m glad they recovered.
My review reflects my own experience with the product, but every dog can react differently, and unexpected reactions are always concerning. Since this involved multiple dogs and happened so quickly, I strongly encourage you to report the incident directly to the manufacturer and to your veterinarian. They can document what happened and look into whether there may have been an issue with that particular batch.
I appreciate you adding your perspective here. Honest feedback from other dog owners helps everyone make more informed decisions.
