Question Cranberry Juice??

For the cranberry juice you can put in a water bottle for your piggy, I don't know if this kind is ok: It says it has no added sugar, but it has 32 g on the nutrition chart, and is 100% juice. Would this be okay to give my pig? Or is it okay if it has a little sugar in it?

Thanks.

Re: Cranberry Juice??

If you give cranberry juice as a way to help stave off UTI's do not replace the water with the juice or add juice to the water. Your pig/s need fresh, plain water at all times. You can try a second, smaller water bottle with diluted cranberry juice or offer it from a syringe or dropper. Not too much either. At the most about a tablespoon a day.

The juice should have no sugar, fructose or juice sweetener (like pear) added at all.

Would the 32 g be from the natural sugars in fruits? Perhaps there is nothing added in. If it is 100% fruit juice with no added sugars, it should be ok.
