Juice and other Beverages
-
Is it okay for dogs and cats to consume liquids other than water? Would small doses of juice, iced tea or lemonade hurt them?

Dear Chet,
The beverages you mention are not likely to pose a problem if given in small quantities—such as a lap or two—as an occasional treat. Mild stomach upset may occur, especially in animals with sensitive gastrointestinal tracts. If large amounts of juice or other beverages are consumed, the likelihood of stomach irritation may increase.
