Fuck. Dog had a drop of wine. Should I worry?

[cbwm1]

It was legit just a drop that spilled on the floor. He licked it up before I could get a paper towel.

This is NBD, right?

[bcv513]

He's a big dog right? Lucy has gotten some wine that people dropped and she's never had a problem. I'd just keep an eye on him

[Deleted]

NBD.

[ErinExpat]

I don't think a drop has enough to do damage. I wouldn't worry.

[milosh]

Really?

I'm sure he'll be fine. If he starts doing keg stands, then I'd be concerned.

[looseseal]

Well, Hooch drank whole cans of beer. But he was a showbiz dog, so maybe that's not the kind of lifestyle you want your dog to emulate.

He's 55 pounds.

At first I was like, go for it!

But then I was like, oh fuck! Grapes!

He's drinking lots of water now, so hopefully that negates a drop of poisonous grapes. lol

I wouldn't worry. Such a small amount

He'll be fine. My dog drank a spilled glass, as much as he could lick up before I stopped him, and he was ok. He ate two grapes out of our friends garbage can and puked for hours.

Oh geez!

[honeychai]

My jerk dogs have licked wine right out of a glass on more than one occasion with no ill effects.

[donnamartingraduat]

He should be OK - both of my dogs have gotten more than that and been fine.

He was still a puppy, and I didn't even know about grapes at the time ;( but he puked up two and then kept barfing. So, they really aren't good. A drop of wine in a big dog is okay, I even think we have similar breeds. I wouldn't worry.

This makes me feel better, thank you.

And thanks everyone for the reassurances!

My dog used to love beer and she lived to almost 15. He'll be fine!

[wise_rita]

If a drop of wine would hurt a dog their species wouldn't be here today.

[mountaingirl]

I can't believe you let your dog drink wine! What kind of people are you??






After fermentation it's not a grape anymore. Unless you are counting it as a serving of fruit.

[sequins]

Did you ask him why he needed wine? Does he need counseling?

[sharknado]

The only thing my first dog actually drooled over was Bailey's. He used to get a lick. He was 18 when he went over the rainbow bridge

[cbwm1]

lol, I don't so much worry about beer or liquor.

But grapes are poisonous to dogs, which is why I freaked originally.

DH sometimes will set an empty beer glass on a side table and Sheldon will clean that shit out in a heartbeat. He might need AA. Idk.

[killercupcake]

It should be fine. Nemo has scammed a considerable amount of beer from my dad and seems to be doing alright. lol

If you were a gentleman you would have.

[1confused1]

I had no idea.

My dog loved grapes.

And gin and tonics.

He lived until he was 11.

[pittsmcgee]

LOL.
NBD. Trust.

[AuntFlo]

My dog ate half a chocolate bar last night, and she was fine. I'm sure a little wine won't hurt.

(Yes, she was okay. I gave her food and monitored her the rest of the night. No barfing, no pooping, no other symptoms...)

Was it milk chocolate? I think only dark is bad. Regardless, I'm glad she's okay!

No, unfortunately it was dark. A bar was left on the coffee table and she stealthily stole it and ate it. I was freaking out for a bit, but then I did some reading and made some calls and apparently it's not extremely toxic until high doses. She only had probably .5 oz, so I did all of the recommended steps and she is fine now. Dumb dog.

I've spilled an entire drink on the floor before and my dog lapped some of it up while I ran to get paper towels and he lived to tell the tale. He's still very much alive and an adorable pain in my ass
