Dogs can drink anything, but should they? Let’s examine some of the most frequently asked questions about dogs and fluids!

Can dogs drink milk?
Dogs can and will drink milk if it’s available, but once they reach maturity, adult dogs are largely lactose intolerant. The calcium and protein that dogs derive from milk is capably provided by a quality dog food.

Can dogs drink alcohol?
Some people might find it amusing to see their dog act drunkenly, but there is nothing funny about testing a dog’s tolerance or subjecting them to alcohol poisoning.

Dogs can get drunk, and suffer much more debilitating effects from a fraction of the alcohol consumption than the average adult human. Alcohol of any variety, whether in the form of wine, beer, or distilled spirits, offers our dogs nothing but deadly danger.

Can dogs drink coffee or tea?
The simple answer is no. Because dogs typically have much less body weight than humans, it takes far less caffeine to negatively impact a dog’s body, much like with alcohol.

Can dogs drink juice?
Surely fruit juices must be safe for dogs to drink? Not so fast! In limited quantities or as an occasional treat, de-seeded apples and oranges are neither toxic or unhealthy for dogs. Store-bought juices or fruit juices from concentrate are another matter. If you’re inclined to offer your dog apple or orange juice, start with a small amount to gauge your dog’s reaction.

There is no substitute or alternative drink that does as much for the average dog as water.

Dehydration can cause just as many problems for dogs as drinking the wrong kinds of beverages. Water contributes substantively to every part of a dog’s physical life. Keeping your dog properly hydrated means providing them water and keeping their water dishes clean.

Fresh water is even more important during periods of extreme weather. Be particularly vigilant about your dog’s water supply during the summer and winter.

Well, it seems that water is the best choice to give your pup. Now it may be hard if your pooches always giving you the puppy dog eyes when you're drinking juice or beer but you must resist!
