One of my dogs drank some spilled coconut water, but the other two didn't. Should I be worried for all of them?

Short answer

No, only the dog that drank it needs attention, and the risk is low. Coconut water is safe for dogs in small amounts, though it is high in potassium. Just offer the dog that drank it some plain water, watch for any vomiting, and call your own vet if anything seems off.
