My dog licked a spilled soft drink. Will a small amount harm him?

Question

Hi there, my soft drink bottle (sunkist/fanta/orange fizz soft drink) tipped over and my dog started licking it. I don't know how much but not a significant amount. Will this harm him? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 3 months and 23 days old | 9 lbs

As long as the soda did not contain any artificial sweeteners like xylitol then Yogi should probably be okay if he only ingested a small amount. It looks like Fanta is caffeine free so that should not be an issue. Please monitor Yogi for any signs of ill healthy like vomiting, lethargy, and inappetence. If any of these signs occur Yogi should be seen by a veterinarian. If the soda did contain xylitol then Yogi should be seen by a veterinarian right away. You can always call the Pet Poison Helpline if you have concerns now or in the future: (888) 426-4435 Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
