Why Yeast Dough Is Dangerous
Raw yeast dough is extremely dangerous for dogs. When ingested, the warm, moist environment of the stomach causes the dough to expand, potentially causing painful bloating and even gastric dilatation-volvulus (a life-threatening twisted stomach). Additionally, the yeast fermentation process produces ethanol (alcohol), which is absorbed into the bloodstream causing alcohol poisoning. Symptoms include bloated abdomen, unproductive vomiting, disorientation, and depression. This is a veterinary emergency.
