Why It's Dangerous

Wine contains ethanol at a higher concentration than beer, so a smaller volume can deliver a meaningful dose. It affects the central nervous system, causing sedation, disorientation, and in large amounts, dangerous drops in body temperature and breathing rate.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Vomiting
  • Disorientation and stumbling
  • Lethargy
  • Low body temperature
  • Slowed breathing in severe cases

Vet Guidance

Contact your vet if a significant amount was drunk. Keep your dog warm and monitor closely for worsening symptoms.
