Packaged Real juice is not typically toxic to dogs, but it's sweetened and concentrated compared to whole fruit, so it should be an occasional taste at most, not a substitute for water.

Why Real Fruit Juice Is Caution for Dogs

Real Fruit Juice is a popular Indian brand of packaged fruit juices in various flavours.

Most packaged fruit juices, including Real, add sugar and lose the fibre content of whole fruit, meaning a dog gets a concentrated sugar hit without the benefits of eating the actual fruit, some flavours (like grape) would be genuinely dangerous rather than just a caution, so always check the flavour.
