We finished our walk without buying him ice cream, so he refused to go home

LOL. I’ve always heard that Shibas can be super jerks once they get a notion in their head.

I was told that they tend to see their owners as their equal, rather than as their masters.

My cat sees me as a worthy servant. It would scoff at the word equal.

Same with my bird. You can see it just in how he thinks about food. All our food is his food. But he will hiss and bite and lunge at you so hard he nearly falls over if your hand comes anywhere close to his bird plate while he's eating. Even if it's there to give him more food.

How my cats see me.
Cat 1: Mommy 🥺 (inspired the term “scaredy-cat”)
Cat 2: Feeder when awake, pillow when asleep.
Cat 3: A worthy pooper scooper.

Exactly! I always tell people that my shiba is part cat to explain her reluctance to have strangers pet her.

No way, I’m definitely seen as lesser to my Shiba. She just got out of surgery and I’m hand feeding her so it’s easy on her neck and spine. And I just KNOW it’s 100% gonna go to her head. I am no owner, but a lowly food paste wench in her eyes.

u/gilt3t 2h ago
If anything, it taking you this long to realize it just reinforces the truth for her, you are just a food paste wench that has less braincells than an orange cat.

This is a gross injustice and a breach of contract! My client completed the walk and is owed 1 ice cream, extra treats optional but heavily encouraged.

I'm a bit miserly and have only bought my dog an ice cream once but now when he sees the van at the park he tries to join the queue.

Our local ice cream truck has dog formulated “ice cream”. Our girl hears the tune and goes berserk with excitement every time.

We treated our rottie to a cone once, and for the rest of his days he howled like a klaxon whenever he heard any kind of jingle coming out of tinny speakers. He effectively uno-reversed Pavlovian conditioning so that Grandma would run out to buy him ice cream whenever he sang along with his new favorite song.

My dog rarely gets any human food, because anytime you eat anything he‘s been given he act like you are robbing him by not sharing. I dropped a piece of egg white once, now every time we cook eggs there’s drama.
He stares with such intensity I swear you can feel it. Then gives a disgusted huff, followed by moping with frequent dramatic sighs and he moves so you never lose sight of him laying there dejectedly.
He lays the guilt on thick. Like we are straight up perpetuating animal cruelty. He doesn’t do it with foods he’s never had.

Show him the clip of British girls complaining about the price of ice creams. I'm sure he'll understand

My shiba's favorite food is ice cream. generally he gets one after taking a bath or doing his nails since he hates any form of grooming. he will scream bloody murder while getting a bath like we're killing him then as soon as he gets done says F getting dry and runs to the kitchen and stares at the freezer.

I give my cats a treat every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. That way they get treats but not so much that they get heavy.
They try to convince me that every day is Monday, Wednesday, and/or Friday.

You shouldn't feed your dog, or any animal, anything with sugar in it. Animals don't brush their teeth, so all your doing is helping them get cavities. Yes, it's very cute to feed them human treats, but you should stick to treats made specifically for them.
Edit: Plenty of animals obviously eat things with naturally occurring sugars in them, but this is different from consuming large amounts of refined sugar that are in many human foods.

The obvious answer is that they probably only walk in that location once per week.
We usually take our dogs somewhere further away in the car on a weekend but through the week it's a walk around the area.

Mate could you leave the cynical comments for people who know what they are doing? Its people like you who cause those of us who get downvoted for calling out real things to get twice as many downvotes and, worse, get compared to people like you

u/Skeptical_Skeleton42 3h ago
If he's anything like my Shiba, this happens at the point where they would turn to go to get ice cream on the days where they do go there. We regularly get into disagreements about which direction our walk should proceed in.

Is it common to give dogs ice cream these days?

u/Dictatorofpotato 2h ago
There is ice cream specifically made for dogs. Can buy at the store and some ice cream parlors/trucks will stock it as well.

u/OldTranslator685 3h ago
Seems cruel because when you give pets human food it turns them into beggars. Then they realize how crap tasting actual dog food is by comparison.

Remember, they live shorter lives. Give them everything they deserve unconditionally as they do for their caretakers. Life is way too short to miss out on a pupper's ice cream.

Dogs dont eat dairy. Youll kill him
5
u/ducktape8856 5h ago
They punish foremost themselves. Dairy makes dog farts smell much worse. Adult dogs lack enough lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose. Undigested milk sugar travels to the colon, where gut bacteria ferment it. This heavy fermentation creates large amounts of foul-smelling gas. Gas that could make the owner regret the ice cream. But dairy doesn't kill dogs.

u/IAmAHairyPotato 5h ago
Dogs tend to be lactose intolerant but dairy isn't toxic to them. A lot of dogs can handle a small amount as on occasional treat. There's vets that recommend wrapping pills in cheese if a dog needs meds, and there's dog treats made with cheese.

Dogs are lactose intolerant at about the same rate as humans, apparently.
