Why It's Dangerous

Dogs metabolise alcohol far more quickly than humans and their bodies have very little tolerance. Even small amounts from beer, wine, spirits, or fermented food can cause serious intoxication, respiratory failure, and death. Never assume "just a little" is harmless.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Vomiting
  • Disorientation and stumbling
  • Slow or difficult breathing
  • Seizures
  • Coma in severe cases

Vet Guidance

Veterinary emergency. Call your vet immediately. Keep your dog warm and do not leave them unattended.
