Risks

health-risks
  • Ginger ale is a carbonated beverage sweetened with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, which can spike dogs' blood sugar levels. Excessive consumption can cause unhealthy weight gain, dental problems, and even diabetes in dogs.
  • Some ginger ale brands contain artificial flavorings and additives. While ginger is not toxic to dogs, the high sugar content and carbonation in ginger ale can cause stomach upset, bloating, and diarrhea in dogs.
  • Sugar-free ginger ale contains artificial sweeteners, such as Xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs and can cause seizure and liver failure in dogs.
