Icecubes are great for dogs just make sure that you watch the size and don't leave your dog alone with it because it is possible for them to choke on the ice. The ice helps with teething/sore gums, cools them down and gives them something fun to play with if they are on a slippery floor where they can chase the ice.

You need to take her to a vet right away a chocolate lave a cake has a lot of sugar and chocolate which can lead to multiple organ failure and even death. Vomiting will need to be induced by a vet they give the dog a Charcoal/water mix, it's painless and safe. I've been through culinary school and I'm an avid baker, trust me the chocolate content is more than enough to worry about.

It is pretty safe to eat. The chances of having it crack their teeth is minimal (they chew on BONE for goodnessake!).
Personally, my dog loves ice and will take ice for a treat rather than other commercial treats. It's good to use when she has already had lots of treats in a day and I want to continue with some training.

My dogs don't care for ice though I had a German Shepherd when I was younger who loved ice-cubes. No, it won't hurt them. If it did, it would be a freak accident. I have never heard of a dog dying by ICE CUBE or being hurt by one.

My 6 month old yellow lab loves ice. I always buy the ice in the bag at the grocery so it is usually in small enough pieces so he can chew chew chew. I also keep a cup of ice when we travel, so he can have it at anytime during the trip.

It can crack their teeth, just like it can crack your teeth.
However, my dog loves it too. He thinks it's the most amazing thing in the world to get an ice cube. Just try to only do it once in a while and give him small pieces and it will probably be ok.

Yes.
You can even make flavored ice cubes, such as with a good homemade veggie broth - carrots, peas, ..., but no onions.
A lot of zoos make 'special popsicles' for the animals during the summer.

I think it is ok for them to have. Just do what I do...I give me dog ice cubes, but crack them a bit first. That way they're smaller pieces and I know it won't hurt his teeth.
