Can dogs have Sparkling water?
Benefits
- Sparkling water is fresh water that's infused with carbon dioxide, which creates bubbles in the water. This gives the water its fizzy quality. Just like regular water, sparkling water can keep your dog hydrated.
Risks
- The carbonation in sparkling water can cause gas and bloating in dogs.
- Some sparkling water brands contain flavoring, artificial sweeteners, and other additives that may be harmful to dogs when consumed excessively.
Servings
- If you want to give your dog sparkling water, do so in moderation and only in small amounts. Use unflavored and unsweetened sparkling water.
- While it's generally safe to give sparkling water for dogs in moderation, it's not recommended for regular hydration needs of dogs.
