Coconut Water safety for dogs
Coconut water is not a replacement for fresh water and is not necessary for dogs. It contains natural sugar and substantial potassium, while bottled products may add sweeteners or flavoring.
Coconut Water safety for cats
Coconut water is not toxic to most healthy cats in a small accidental amount, but it can upset digestion and its potassium load can be inappropriate for cats with kidney, urinary, or electrolyte problems.
