12. Hops in homebrewing can cause excess panting and seizures.
Yes, alcohol is on this list of common home goods and foods that are harmful to dogs. But here’s one that’s a little more in-depth. Anyone interested in making their craft beers at home should keep one element in mind. If dogs eat hops, they can become highly hazardous. The chemicals can cause malignant hypothermia, a condition in which the body temperature rises to dangerous levels.
Other symptoms are redness around the mouth, excessive panting, abdominal pain, convulsions, and a high heart rate. Between 30 minutes and 12 hours after use, owners may detect indicators that anything is awry. They should be taken to the veterinarian right away. Brewers should store their hops in a secure location to avoid contamination. A garage or separate space would be great for preventing such an occurrence.
