lee sternberg Webboard User Reg: 08-05-2007 Posts: 323 Loc: Lake City, Coeur d' Alene, ID Offline	Someone asked about the effects of alcohol on dogs. I tried to research it on the internet and found little info other than beer is not at all healthy for dogs. Apparently many dogs like beer. Oddly enough I was shocked to find there are websites that state they make non alcoholic beer just for dogs. Weird! Lee Sternberg

So are the lists of foods, etc., toxic to dogs. Non-alcoholic beer is different, but still contains nothing that is good for dogs. I'd avoid it completely but not panic about a licked-up spot of beer. JMHO.

Jennifer Mullen Webboard User Reg: 08-16-2007 Posts: 2365 Loc: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Offline	ahh. when i googled, all the side effects appeared to correspond to drunkness, so i wasn't sure. (note - i don't actually give them alcohol, luc has jumped in to clear up beer overflow and teagan will just sneak in if she gets the chance, now that i know her habits though, i'm careful about making sure she doesn't get any....that was from more of a 'don't stick your tongue in my drink' perspective, but it's good to know that it's also just not safe) thanks Teagan!

It even kills the little anarobic yeast that make it. I am sure in the wild the Canine family comes in contact with ethanol regularly. That said, I wouldn't try to find out how much it too much. But if your dog knocks over a beer and drinks it I wouldn't be too concerned.

Ian Inglis Webboard User Reg: 03-28-2008 Posts: 3 Loc: UK Offline	I had a guy in a pub put a full pint of beer down in front of the firt Rott I owned, he thought he was very funny until the dog knocked it over and it spilled onto the carpet. The dog probably drank about half of it with no obvious ill effects, didn't even notice him staggering. Ian
