Is beer and wine toxic to dogs and cats?
Is beer and wine toxic to dogs and cats? The answer is YES!
We may have all seen at one in point in our lives, whether in person or on video, of someone giving a dog alcohol. I have never seen it in person and I always try to stay positive in my blogging but I have to be honest, I came across a picture of a puppy being forced fed alcohol and it made me sick to my stomach.
You should NEVER give your dog or cat wine or beer and here are the reasons why! A dog’s kidneys can’t process alcohol and wine is made of grapes which are toxic to dogs.
- Slowed movement or difficulty walking
- Wild fluctuations in body temperature
- Decrease in blood pressure
- Seizures
- Respiratory difficulty or failure
- Vomiting
- Weakness
- Collapse
- Drooling
- Depression
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Hypotension (low blood pressure)
- Hypothermia (low body temperature)

Alcohol is poisonous to dogs, cats, horses, birds, and cows. Alcohol is also found in surprising places including unbaked yeast bread dough and desserts made with alcohol. When pets ingest rising bread dough, alcohol from the fermenting yeast in the dough is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and can result in alcohol poisoning.
Call the Animal Poison Control Center should you see any of these signs in an animal who has ingested alcohol.
