Disadvantages of apple juice for dogs
However, apple juice also has some disadvantages for dogs, mainly due to its high sugar content. Too much sugar can cause dogs to

- diabetes
- gastrointestinal complaints
gastrointestinal problems.
In addition, some apple juices may contain additives such as sweeteners or preservatives, which can also be harmful to dogs.
The answer is: it depends. A little sip of apple juice every now and then won't do your dog any harm and may even do him some good. But you shouldn't give it as a substitute for fresh water or as a regular treat.
If you want to offer your dog something fruity, go for a fresh apple without seeds or skin. This is healthier and tastier for your dog.
