Is snow bad for dogs to eat?

He has been getting sick and vomiting lately, cant think of anything else new he has been eating except that in the back yard. He doesnt vomit right away, usually a few hours and its usually not very much He has been getting sick and vomiting lately, cant think of anything else new he has been eating except that in the back yard.

1. No
2. YES!!!! Most dogs are highly allergic so keep it away!
3. no its water so its basicaly good for them dont worry let the dog eat snow!
4. Uhm... snow is frozen water.... water is not bad..
5. No it's just frozen water...
6. I'd be more concerned about the water that they're drinking out of your toilet. In other words, no.
7. Dogs love to eat snow, and it will not hurt them in any way.
8. no from my experience its fine if its not contamined(if its all white and doesnt have dirt/sand)
9. well it's not good.
10. Only if it's yellow.
11. its ok, but if they eat a lot they can get sick. I know what you mean this is my puppie's first snow and shes eating it but she stopped out of boredome i guess.
12. no it will just make them feel cold
13. no snow is just water so its like hes getting extra water =)
14. Nope!
15. The Snow isn't going to hurt them, but the sheer temperature of the snow can cause them to vomit due to them not being prepared for the drop in temperature,
16. no not at all but good thing you asked you know just in case
17. no, its water
18. no not at all:) just be careful of them eating it if it have dirt on it that can be a little gross i pull my dog away when she tries to eat that kind but really its just water so dont be worried when your dog eats it
19. Only the yellow stuff Just kidding . I think its like a popsicle to them. Never heard of a dog getting sick from it
20. No it is not bad for dogs. make sure they are eating clean snow though
21. It probably wouldn't. But like us, if dogs eat too much cold things, they get sick, like we do.
22. No it will not hurt your dog.
23. If your dog eats a little bit he will be fine unless he eats a lot the same for any creature. See snow has certain chemicals in it that can kill you or your dog nothing to worry about though it would pretty much only hurt him or you if your life depended on the snow. (also snow wont kill you if its boiled)
24. Snow is just crystallized moisture. In other words, it's just water. Have him checked for worms, parvo, etc.
25. If you dog doesn't eat a lot of it it wont hurt him/her. But if he/she does he make get sick to his stomach but as you said he doesnt eat much think if you recently changed foods or if he/she got a new toy as a Christmas present or something that he /she may be eating.
26. Brown/Black?! Yes. Yellow?! Maybe. White?! No. <33 Mailee
