Dogs can have coconut water and they usually enjoy it because of its sweet taste. However, it shouldn’t replace plain water as your dog’s primary source of hydration though it can safely be offered in small amounts or added to food or water. Coconut water can help dogs recover from vigorous exercise, especially in hot weather, and it is said to aid digestion. As with any new food, start slowly and monitor your dog’s response. If your dog has been diagnosed with kidney disease, consult with your veterinarian before offering coconut water. In some cases, kidney disease depletes potassium so it’s a helpful supplement, but in other cases, coconut water’s extra potassium may be detrimental. Check with your vet first if your dog has kidney disease. Plain coconut water that has nothing added is the safest for dogs, as some products contain added sugar, fruit purees, or other ingredients that contribute to weight gain.
