Soy is already a common dog-food ingredient, so plain soy milk in small amounts is a low-stakes theft. The caveats are the usual carton caveats: sweeteners, flavors, and the rare dog with a soy allergy.

Why Soy Milk needs caution
Soy protein is digestible for dogs and appears in commercial diets, and soy milk has no lactose. Small amounts of plain unsweetened soy milk are generally uneventful. Sweetened and flavored versions add sugar or chocolate, sugar-free versions warrant a xylitol check, and dogs with a soy allergy (uncommon but real) can react with itchy skin or GI upset.
Signs to watch for
Usually none; large amounts: gas, soft stool; allergic dogs: itching, ear irritation, GI upset
What to do next
Plain soy milk: nothing needed for modest amounts. Flavored or sugar-free: read the label for chocolate or xylitol before deciding anything.
