Whisky is poisonous for dogs

Whisky contains ethanol, a substance that is very harmful to dogs. Ethanol can lead to symptoms of poisoning in dogs such as vomiting, diarrhea, breathing difficulties, tremors, convulsions and unconsciousness. In the worst case, ethanol poisoning can lead to the dog's death. Therefore, you should never let your dog drink whisky or other alcoholic drinks!

Whisky barrels can contain mushrooms

Whisky is often stored in wooden barrels to give it flavor and color. However, these barrels can also contain fungi, which can be harmful to dogs. Fungi can cause allergic reactions, skin infections, gastrointestinal problems or respiratory diseases in dogs. So if you use whisky barrels as decoration or furniture, you should make sure that your dog does not nibble or lick them.

 

Whisky is an interesting and versatile drink that many people enjoy. However, whisky is poisonous to dogs and can cause serious health problems. Therefore, you should keep your dog away from whisky and whisky barrels and offer him fresh water instead.
