These fruits contain a substance called psoralens, which when combined with the acidity in lemons and limes, can make ingestion dangerous.\u00a0 As little as three grams (or about five pieces of gum) can kill a 65 pound dog.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-can-i-give-my-dog-to-drink-other-than\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_give_my_dog_to_drink_other_than_water\"><\/span>What can I give my dog to drink other than water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dog-friendly drinking alternatives like alcohol-free dog beer, wine and prosecco and health tonics and herbal tea for dogs (minus the caffeine) are treats.
