Why alcohol is dangerous
Even small amounts of alcohol (drinks, raw dough) can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar, temperature and breathing.
Symptoms to watch for
Signs can include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, tremors, a racing heart, or weakness. Symptoms may be delayed, so don't wait for them to appear.
What to do if your dog ate alcohol
Seek veterinary care immediately. Have the amount, your dog's weight and the time of ingestion ready. You can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. Do not induce vomiting unless a professional tells you to.
What about their everyday food?
Treats are only part of the picture — your dog's main diet matters most. Paste your dog food's ingredients into the WoofScore checker to see how it grades A–F.
