Toast your furry friend with dog-friendly wines & beers
Drinking under the table
Story by Bailey Gilliam
If you’re both a dog owner and a wine or beer enthusiast, you’ve probably felt the desire to share a sip with your furry companion. It’s a common wish, stemming from the desire to bond or simply to humorously exclaim, “Give my pooch some hooch!” However, you’re undoubtedly aware of the risks involved in giving your pet something as toxic as alcohol.
In any form, alcohol can be incredibly harmful to dogs, leading to issues like hypothermia, low blood pressure, seizures and respiratory failure. But fret not; there’s a delightful alternative that allows you to enjoy a drink alongside your four-legged friend.
In the ever-evolving market, you can now find a delightful array of trending wines and beers specially designed for dogs, and the best part is they are completely alcohol-free. These canine beverages are typically concocted from savory broths, meal enhancers and other “liquid treats,” ensuring a safe and enjoyable option for your furry companion. Here are our top selections:
