Can a dog get sick from drinking a whole bottle of Pedialyte?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 40 lbs

Me and my partner gave a stray who was severely underweight and obviously dehydrated Pedialyte today. We ended up give her the full bottle and now I'm scared she'll become sick from it. Is it possible for them to "overdose" from this?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! No, that is not likely to happen at all. Pedialyte has electrolytes and minerals and should help and that amount should not be an issue. Thanks for caring and trying to help this poor pup, that is very kind. Good luck and have a good night!
