Can dogs drink lemonade? What will happen if you give your dog lemonade?

Dogs cannot drink lemonade

It is best not to give lemonade to dogs because their body structure is different from that of humans. Humans drink lemonade to whiten their skin, while dogs drinking lemonade can irritate their intestines. The acidity of dog gastric juice is dozens of times that of normal people. Lemon is very acidic and will irritate the dog's intestines. Some dogs may also experience symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea after eating lemons. For the sake of your dog's health, do not feed them casually. It is best to drink cold drinking water for your dog.
