Every dog is different. Individual allergies and sensitivities are common — always introduce new foods in small amounts and watch for adverse reactions. This site is for informational purposes only and is not veterinary advice. Always consult your vet.
The Full Picture
Alcohol (ethanol) is extremely toxic to dogs. Dogs are far more sensitive to alcohol than humans due to their smaller size and different metabolism. Even small amounts of beer, wine, spirits, or foods containing alcohol (rum cake, alcohol-infused chocolates, unbaked bread dough containing yeast) can cause vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, central nervous system depression, coma, and death. Hops (used in brewing) are also independently toxic to dogs. This is always an emergency — contact your vet immediately.
What You Should Know
Alcohol should be kept well away from dogs. If your dog has drunk alcohol, watch for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite. In an emergency, contact your veterinarian or an animal poison helpline straight away.
