Humans and dogs are similar in many ways. For example, we both enjoy being outside and getting exercise. We like physical touch and spending time with one another, and we like going on trips. However, aside from the obvious, humans and dogs are different in many ways too. One major difference is with alcohol.

For humans, alcohol has many uses. It’s an enjoyable drink, and it’s also a great disinfectant and antiseptic. As a result, it’s in almost every household across the world, and it’s often a part of everyday life.

In short, humans are able to tolerate and enjoy alcohol. Unfortunately, dogs are not so lucky. Understanding this difference is an essential part of pet ownership. In short, alcohol can have a severe, even lethal, effect on dogs. This is true for all kinds too, whether they’re made for ingestion or first aid. If a dog comes into contact with alcohol in any way, you’ll want to contact your vet or take them to an emergency vet right away.

There’s more than this to know too. For instance, how much alcohol is lethal to a dog? Do dogs even like the smell of it? How do they react when we drink or use alcohol?

Learning the answer to each of these and more questions means creating a safer environment for your dog, which leads to a longer and more enjoyable life for them. So, learn as much as you can about it. Your dog will thank you for it later.
