While I like the concept of a show to make dog food - the ingredients in this recipe can lead to "canine calcium oxalate urolithiasis" or urinary stones in your dog. I just spent $1k on having these stones removed from my shih tzu's bladder and have a list of "good" and "bad" human foods to give dogs. "Bad" foods in this recipe are yogart-(all dairy is bad) and berries. "Good" foods are mangos and bananas. Food Network, pls consult a vet or Hills Nutrition Inc. before airing a show to the public!
Should be boycotted!!!!!

This RR should be boycotted. There are dog owners that are not educated on the dog friendly foods. RR is definately one of them. Take this show off the air and while you're at it, take RR off the air too!!! She is dangerous.
Know your dog

As with all things, moderation and starting slow is best. If you're dog has never had any of these ingredients before and you're not sure how they'll react, try giving them a few berries before making them a smoothie. And I can't imagine that the ice water combined with all of these other ingredients will be an issue.
nutrition packed treat

Great recipe, full of antioxidants and potassium! Berries are wonderful treats for dogs, the seeds cause no problems, not sure where the previous reviewer came up with that.
She did talk about consulting a vet

I have a dog whose breed is prone to bloat (Samoyed), I have researched bloat and I have NEVER heard that ice water was a risk factor for bloat. As for the blackberries, I've never heard that those were a problem. Grapes, yes. And Rachel observed that garlic can be an issue so you should consult your vet on that. This was a great episode. Three cheers for Rachel Ray bringing attention to the benefits of cooking for pets and providing balance on the question of a raw diet for dogs.
Yum O!

This is good for me too! My dog loves to chew on Ice Cubes when it's hot out and this will be great to give here an extra treat! Thank you Rachael!

NO BERRIES FOR DOGS OR CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tiny seeds get caught in their bowel tracts...this can be so deadly to your pet. And......NEVER give a dog, cat, bird what ever ICE WATER. I think it is best that a vet be consulted before these shows go on the air. Were they? Rachel can cook...but I don't think she is qualified for a pet chef. Humans can tell you what they like or do not like...our pets can not. Her advise is not backed up...I am listening now to her comments... Come on Foodnetwork...be a little pet friendly. Novelty does not equate safety for pets.
Ice and berries: NOT dog friendly

Ice water is a serious no-no for dogs. In fact, 'bloat' that is often fatal to dogs can result from ice water. Also, berries are NOT recommended for dogs.
