We highly recommend that you avoid giving your dog soda even as an occasional treat. Ideally, it is best to not feed your pooch Sprite at all. Sodas like Sprite are packed full of sugar, artificial flavors, chemicals, and artificial colors. The sugar used in Sprite is made with GMO sugar. When dogs drink a can of Sprite by accident, they could get a bad reaction from it. First, since a can of 12 fl oz Sprite contains 44 grams of sugar, this large amount of sugar intake can cause your pup’s blood sugar level to spike very high, which is very dangerous for your dog. This sudden spike can cause a number of health issues including excessive thirst or drool, increase in urination, vomiting, weakness, lethargy, fatigue, and seizures in severe cases. Soda is a caffeinated drink that is designed for human consumption. Just because a little bit of Sprite won’t harm your dog doesn’t mean that your pup should have it. Giving your dogs Sprite regularly can lead to caffeine poisoning, weight gain, and diabetes because their bodies are not able to handle so many chemicals and sugar. Sugary drinks are also addicting so if your pooch is stealing a drink behind your back, it’s time to train him to stay away from Sprite or other types of soda. Keep the Sprite or other sodas on a high shelf or away from your dog’s sight and reach. If you can, don’t leave an open Sprite can on the table. If you’re not done with it, try to put it inside the refrigerator immediately.
