So what are they really selling? Or is there a genuine demand for it in East Asia?

@gwydionwilliams:

There's another Japanese product called Pocari Sweat. It's a popular sports drink / Gatorade-type-thing. This is presumably a competing product. The name probably has something to do with the fact that plastic bottles in Japan are often referred to as PET bottles, which makes the name a (strange) pun.

Dogs don't sweat.... so obviously it isn't real pet sweat.

失われた - うしなわれた　- ushinawareta - lost
水分　- すいぶん - suibun - moisture
補給 - ほきゅう - hokyuu - replenish, renew (had to look up those kanji)

So "replenishes lost moisture". It's a sports drink.

Dogs DO sweat - through the pads of their paws... however bottling it would be a chore...

I'd expect it's just Pocari Sweat marketed for people to give their dogs. It's in the same design of bottle.

I've been to Japan and drank Pocari Sweat. It tasted like a watered down and flat 7-Up. and was semi-drinkable to an average American's taste.

Actually it looks like it is marketed by the same company that produces Pocari Sweat: Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. It says Otsuka Group (大塚グループ) above the name.

I like Pocari Sweat. But I never saw Pet Sweat in Japan. Maybe if you drink it, your sweat will make you smell like a dog.
