Product Information

Stay on top of spills: It’s nice to have a dog around to clean up after you in the kitchen, particularly for messy cooks and young kids. But when it comes to spills of beer or other food and drink containing alcohol, clean up immediately and keep your dog away. Though a good beer may seem to pleasantly intoxicate dogs just like humans, think of your dog as the ultimate “lightweight.” They may experience intoxication much faster than any human you know, and that intoxication could make them fearful or even aggressive.

Symptoms of hops poisoning can happen within 30 minutes or take up to 12 hours. A vet can reduce their temperature, so it’s treatable if found early on. If your dog has consumed alcohol you need to call a veterinarian for advice on what to do next, even if they aren’t exhibiting any symptoms. Pour it into your dog’s bowl, cover their dry kibble with it, or even freeze it for a fun summer treat. Home brew beer uses hops in pellet form, which is also toxic to dogs. Keep hops in a sealed dog-proof container if you’re a home brewer. Parties and Owner IntoxicationFirst, your pup's condition will be assessed. Details — on what type of beer/alcohol percentage, the quantity consumed, if known, medical history of your dog, how long ago the beer intake happened, and what specific symptoms you observed — will be asked. If you want to treat your dog to something, choose a dog-safe treat like bell peppers, carrots, strawberries or an occasional puppaccino, but never a beer. Up Next If your dog accidentally drinks beer with a higher alcohol content, then your dog is much more likely to experience the negative effects of alcohol consumption.

Additionally, beer is often carbonated, which can increase the risk of bloat in some breeds. Plus, with its low nutritional value and high-calorie content, drinking beer could lead to health issues in your pooch. Canines only like the beer’s sweetness and aroma. And if they repeat the behavior, it’s more likely due to reinforcement.So when it comes to your best friend, you may share the couch to watch a favorite TV show and take them on your brewery visits, but definitely abstain from sharing your favorite beer. Higher Alcohol Content Means Higher Danger However, keep your eye on your dog and consult with your vet if you see symptoms progress or are unsure how much alcohol your dog has consumed. According to the Pet Poison Helpline, “When pets ingest rising bread dough, alcohol from the fermenting yeast in the dough is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and can result in alcohol poisoning.”
