Why Alcohol Is Dangerous
Dogs are far more sensitive to alcohol than humans. Beer, wine, spirits, and even alcohol-containing foods (rum cake, unbaked dough with yeast) can be dangerous. Alcohol is rapidly absorbed and can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, difficulty breathing, central nervous system depression, tremors, coma, and death. A dog's smaller body size means even small amounts can be toxic. Hops (used in brewing) are also independently toxic to dogs and can cause malignant hyperthermia. Never leave alcoholic drinks unattended around dogs.
