The Dangers of Bread Dough

The holidays may inspire you to get in the kitchen and bake up some tasty treats.  If you do keep a close eye out and make sure that your pooch does not ingest any bread dough.  The ASPCA has recently spoke of the dangers of dogs ingesting bread dough.  It seems that the heat of a dog or cat’s stomach causes the bread to rise.  As the dough rises it fills the dog’s stomach and produces alcohol.  If untreated, this can be a potentially fatal situation.  So during the holiday bustle in the kitchen, be sure to keep a close eye on your furry friend and make sure they do not eat any potentially dangerous foods.
