Why Hops Should Be Avoided
Hops — used in beer brewing — are toxic to dogs and can cause malignant hyperthermia (a dangerous, uncontrollable rise in body temperature). Symptoms include heavy panting, racing heart, vomiting, abdominal pain, and seizures. Both fresh and spent (used) hops are dangerous. Home brewers should keep hops securely stored and dispose of spent hops where dogs cannot access them. Certain breeds (Greyhounds, Labradors) may be more susceptible.
