Risks

health-risks
  • Sherry is a type of wine made from distilling white grapes. It's fortified with brandy, which produces a high alcohol content ranging from 15% to 22%.
  • Consuming sherry wine can easily lead to alcohol poisoning in dogs since their bodies are much smaller than humans and therefore more sensitive to alcohol. Dogs metabolize alcohol very slowly, so it stays in the bloodstream longer.
  • Alcohol toxicity in dogs can cause vomiting, disorientation, unsteady gait, respiratory problems, tremors, and even coma or death in extreme cases if left untreated.
