Bread toxicity in pets

substance: Bread

categories:

# Description

Bread is generally not toxic to pets in small amounts, but it can pose risks depending on the ingredients and the amount consumed. Plain, cooked bread is usually safe for dogs and cats, but some types, such as those containing raisins, garlic, onions, or large amounts of salt, can be harmful. Unbaked bread dough, in particular, is very dangerous as it can expand in a pet's stomach, leading to bloating and even alcohol poisoning from yeast fermentation (check alcohol).

# How it works

Unbaked bread dough can expand in a pet's stomach, leading to bloating and even alcohol poisoning from yeast fermentation.

# Symptoms

Usually, no symptoms are seen. However, abdominal pain may occur if a large amount is consumed. If raw dough is ingested, bloating and alcohol poisoning can occur.

# Treatment

Typically, no treatment is necessary. Monitor your pet for any signs of gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort.

# Prognosis

If your pet consumes a significant amount of bread or any type of bread dough, consult a veterinarian.
