Saw this on Yahoo! Answers posted by TexasJan with a similar question: Water is the safest thing. Sugar is damaging to dogs in the same way that it is damaging to diabetics. Excess salt is not excreted by dogs as they do not sweat (like humans). except through their pads. Don't load them up with salt, their bodies are pretty good at hoarding salt. The ONLY time you should give your dog excess salt/sugar is when your vet says to do so. They'll tell you to keep salt AND sugar away from your Fur Friends, except in small amounts occasionally.

Haha, very interesting questions. Personly I love dogs and animals and I wouldn't take the chance and give them Gatorade.

How about water? My dog loves that!

You can indeed give Yorkies (and any dog for that matter) small amounts of Gatorade. Although, water is the best choice for hydration. But if your dog is sick and is dehydrating, you can check with your vet and even give them small amounts of Pedialyte. But ALWAYS check with your veterinarian before giving any human hydrating drink to a dog.

no bearded dragons can't drink Gatorade they can be severiously harmed because of the chemicals that make Gatorade I'll have to disagree.

Gatorade is an electrolyte solution and contains minerals. It is used for hydration.
