You sit down to enjoy a delicious meal, or in this case, a refreshing beverage. And there\u2019s your dog waiting at your feet for a handout. But can dogs have fruit juice, even if it\u2019s just a quick lap up?<\/p>
Well, the answer isn\u2019t so easy. Sit Means Sit<\/a> has compiled some information on it. Of course, every dog is different in what they may be allergic to, so it\u2019s important to talk to your vet about what they suggest your dog can have in the world of human foods.<\/p> Dogs can usually drink fruit juices safely, but it isn\u2019t quite recommended to let your dog consume them. Fruits like strawberries and blueberries can make great snacks for pooches, especially when they\u2019re in frozen treats, but fruit juices tend to lack nutritional value.<\/p> Whole fruits contain much more vitamins and nutrients than a store or commercially bought fruit juice would. Oftentimes these juices will be filled with added sugars<\/a> or preservatives, which are unhealthy and sometimes toxic to dogs.<\/p> Dogs aren\u2019t able to digest foods the same way humans can, so it is best to steer away from commercial fruit juices. If you want them to have fruit juice, it is much safer to feed them one that is homemade and contains few ingredients.<\/p> Some juices may have ingredients that aren\u2019t specifically mentioned on the front label, so it may slip your mind when you\u2019re going to give your dog a sip. One fruit to steer completely away from is grapes, especially grape fruit juices– even if it is in the form of wine or raisins.<\/p> Grapes are extremely toxic to dogs and can cause them serious medical issues like kidney failure. Contact your vet immediately if your dog consumes any grape products, or you suspect they have due to signs and symptoms like:<\/p> Is It Safe?<\/h2>
