While many humans may enjoy an alcoholic bevarage now and then, our furry friends should never be allowed to take part in this common pastime. Alcohol is extremely poisonous to dogs and cats, even in the smallest quantities. Alcohol isn't limited to your favorite 21 and over beverage, either. It can be found in other things like mouthwashes, perfumes, unbaked breads containing yeast, and even rotting or fermenting fruits and vegetables. Dogs are especially attracted to alcohol, no matter what form it is in, so keeping alcohol out of reach from our mischeavious furry friends is vital. Ethanol is the chemical toxin responsible for all the concerning signs associated with alcohol intake including vomiting, hyperexcitability, difficulty breathing, collapse, depression, lethargy, coma, seizures, and death. The hops, which are found in beer, can also cause additional problems, including breathing issues.
