About PEPSI

PEPSI, in the context of pets, is a commercial soft drink brand known for its high caffeine and sugar content. It is commonly found in grocery stores, restaurants, and vending machines. It is unsafe for cats and dogs because caffeine and high sugar levels can lead to serious health issues, including hyperactivity, agitation, vomiting, elevated heart rate, and potentially more severe toxic effects. Pets should not be given Pepsi or similar caffeinated beverages, and any accidental ingestion should be addressed by consulting a veterinarian immediately.
