It\u2019s delicious any time of the year! The wonderful aroma as it comes out of the oven. The satisfaction you feel from making wholesome food from scratch. The smiles created from sharing your craft with family and friends. Perhaps, the worst part of homemade bread making is waiting for the bread to proof? Or is it that eating unbaked bread dough is one of the many possible food toxins to pets?<\/p>\n<p>When your dog eats unbaked bread dough, it can lead to alcohol toxicity and stomach bloating. Cats are usually more discriminating and leave your dough to proof in peace. However, a cat could be at risk for toxicity if they do eat the unbaked dough.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5470 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-design-2020-10-15T151800.926-2.png\" alt=\"dog, kitchen counter, bread dough, yeast, homemade bread, toxicity, bread dough toxicity in pets, bread dough toxicity, dog toxins, pet toxins, alcohol toxicity, Animal Emergency &amp; Referral Center of Minnesota, emergency veterinarian, er vet, Minnesota emergency vet, Twin Cities animal emergency hospital\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>How does eating bread dough lead to alcohol toxicity?<\/h4>\n<p>The alcohol is produced from fermenting yeast as the dough rises in a warm environment, such as your pet\u2019s stomach. Therefore, any homemade dough with yeast is a potential concern if eaten by a pet.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the consumption of liquid alcohol, the symptoms of alcohol toxicity from eating dough are not immediately visible. When Fido eats bread dough, he may experience a bloated abdomen, vomiting, and unproductive retching prior to showing symptoms of drunkenness. As the yeast ferments, it also produces gas that leads to stomach bloating. In severe cases, the stomach can twist. This creates the surgical emergency of a gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5472 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aercmn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Untitled-design-2020-10-15T155101.372-2.png\" alt=\"counter, bread dough, baking bread, homemade bread, yeast, homemade bread, toxicity, bread dough toxicity in pets, bread dough toxicity, dog toxins, pet toxins, alcohol toxicity, Animal Emergency &amp; Referral Center of Minnesota, emergency veterinarian, er vet, Minnesota emergency vet, Twin Cities animal emergency hospital\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>How do veterinarians treat dough ingestion?<\/h4>\n<p><em>If Fido is NOT displaying any symptoms\u00a0<\/em><em>for<\/em><em> alcohol toxicity:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your veterinarian will induce vomiting.
