I had a look and this might be a completely ignorant suggestion (I don’t have a dog) but to me it was very surprising that dogs would like frozen food, so maybe you should explain that/why they do. Just seemed counterintuitive, I’ve never seen anybody give anything frozen to their dog.

Ice cream style treats (made for dogs, so not real ice cream) have become very popular with dog owners. You'll see them carried in all major grocery stores in the US now. For example: https://www.purina.com/frosty-paws https://www.purina.com/frosty-paws And: http://dogstersicecream.com http://dogstersicecream.com

Anecdata: many dogs I know of really enjoy ice cubes. A meat flavored ice cube would probably make them quite excited.

  Anecdata: my cat loves ice cubes too. You can roll them all over the floor, lick them, carry them around - super fun.

A lot of dogs (mine included) love to crunch on ice cubes. You can also find a lot of recipes for frozen treats online - I started by looking there first, but they were all heavy on ingredients my dog isn't fond of (he really just likes meat). Might be a geographical/climate thing. I'm in San Diego, so frozen treats are good year round here.

  how did you find expiration dates for your consumables?

Dogs can't sweat, which makes it hard for them to cool down. They cool off by panting. In hot weather, I imagine a lot of dogs would go for something cold to consume if it was made available.

  Hey, it's a bit of a head-scratcher why I made a note (well, username tag) of this, but according to it, it's your birthday today or tomorrow. Might as well put the info to good use, so if correct: happy birthday! (I suspect this was around the time a year or two ago that I was testing out my HN tagger extension/server)

    Yes, yesterday was my birthday. I mostly laid low and did design work and the like on several reddits that I run.
