Can you give dogs Gatorade?

[Stella]

I am taking my two boys to an agility trial tomorrow and it is forecast to be hot! I am taking three large jugs of water for them along with watermelon for my one boy who will eat it. I wondered if it would be ok to give my other one some Gatorade mixed in with his water? I know there are electrolyte powders you can buy for dogs, but I live in a rural area and can't anything like that before tomorrow!!

What do you think?

Congratulations to Hartley! I'm glad the boys did well with the heat.

Congrats to Harley! Good job! It sounds like a wonderful day. Glad the heat didn't turn out to be a problem. I hadn't heard of the Swamp Cooler jacket before so I just Googled them.  Really nice! I love that there are so many wonderful products available now for our canine family members.
