* Sugar: Apple juice is very high in sugar, which can lead to obesity, dental problems, and even diabetes in dogs.
* Acidity: The high acidity of apple juice can upset your dog's stomach and cause diarrhea or vomiting.
* Artificial sweeteners: Some apple juices contain artificial sweeteners like xylitol, which is extremely toxic to dogs. Even small amounts can be fatal.
Instead of apple juice, offer your dog:
* Fresh apples: Cut them into small pieces and remove the core and seeds.
* Plain water: This is the best way to keep your dog hydrated.
If you're concerned about your dog's health or have given them apple juice, consult with your veterinarian immediately.
