Can dogs eat raw dough?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Dangerous. Yeast dough expands and produces alcohol in the stomach. The yeast in raw dough continues to rise inside a dog's stomach, causing painful bloating and potentially life-threatening torsion. As the yeast ferments, it also produces ethanol, which can lead to alcohol poisoning. This reaction happens quickly and can be fatal without immediate veterinary care.
Watch out for
- raw dough
- rising dough
- dough left out to rise
