In food-energetics terms
In food energetics this is classified as "cold." It is considered strongly cooling, so it is often chosen in hot weather. For dogs that tend to run cold, keeping it modest is safer.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
