Is alcohol bad for dogs

Answer 1

Yes, it is. The properties contained within alcohol of any type do not breakdown the same in a dog, or most animals like in humans. Not only will it make them ill, they will become disoriented and as a defense may do something they normally would not, like bite, because they do not understand what is going on. Err on the side of caution and do not give any alcohol to your animals. There are some human animals that shouldn't consume it, either.

ANSWER:

yes! Alcohol is bad for every thing. If your animal does not feel good, take it to the doctor. other wise it might get worse! Alcohol is never the answer, especially for animals, they will just get sick!

Answer 3

Yes, similar to humans dogs can become quite ill from consuming ethanol. Short-nosed dogs (think Bulldogs, pugs and Boxers) are at particular risk of aspirating vomit due to the structure of their throat, esophagus and trachea.

Dogs can and do die of alcohol poisoning, same as humans. Dogs are also more likely to drink alcohol, as they can taste the sweet in beer and wine and will seek it out.

Incidentally, ethanol is always a toxin to mammalian bodies - humans have just learned that ethanol can be taken in small amounts without killing themselves.

Answer 4

Yes, ethanol (the alcohol in beer, wine, liquor and other adult beverages) is toxic to dogs. Incidentally, it is also toxic to humans, and one of the toxic effects is changes in cognition ("feeling drunk"). Dogs can also "get drunk", and can have all the other problems associated with alcohol consumption - liver damage, stomach damage, self-inflicted trauma, acute alcohol poisoing, vomiting while unconscious, etc. Every year there are dogs that die from drinking alcohol.

Answer 5

Ethanol (the alcohol in Alcoholic Beverages) causes central nervous system depression - dogs tend to become lethargic, have difficulty walking and drinking and have decreased inhibitions of actions - the dogs may show unanticipated aggression, bite unexpectedly, urinate and defecate within the house, etc.

Ethanol also causes liver damage - it is a toxin that the liver purifies. Excessive or chronic alcohol consumption can cause liver failure.

Answer 6

Yes. Beer will pickle a dog's liver quicker than it does a human.

Half a can of beer to a dog is the equivalent of 25 cans of beer to a human. You can be charged in a court of law for cruelty by giving your dog beer, because you are endangering its life.

Answer 7

You would kill it, if you give them alcohol... Just saying.

Answer 8

Yes. Alcohol would probably kill a dog. Just like it kills people, only faster.

Answer 9

No
