    First, I would like to say that whenever there are dogs involved, there are ALWAYS the snappy people lurking that 'think' they know everything about dogs and need to find fault in everything someone else posts...It's a doggie power trip, in my opinion. (This comes from YEARS of working with these people.

    Second, I go to one of the best vets in Seattle and consult with him regularly on diet for my dog. Yogurt is GOOD for dogs; just like with us, it provides good flora for their intestines. Berries are fine and good! Like us, they don't need to eat an entire pound of berries, but this recipe is fine and nutritious for our pets. Bananas are wonderful, mangos are fine (in moderation - everything in moderation. And ice is surly fine. Dogs chew on ice all of the time.

    So unless you're a vet or can provide medical data as to the adverse effects of one of the most natural things on earth (yogurt, berries, fruit, ice! then let us enjoy some fun treats for our dogs. You'll find none of these ingredients on a toxic list for dogs. I wonder what these people put in their own mouths. Good lord.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
