No, yeast is highly dangerous to dogs. Once ingested, yeast will continue to expand in a dog's stomach, resulting in fatal stomach blockage. It can also cause canine bloat, a life-threatening condition. In addition, the ethanol content in yeast can cause poison to dogs.

  • Unlike nutritional yeast, baking yeast is not safe for dogs to eat. When consumed, the yeast will continue to rise in the dog's stomach. This can result in bloat or Gastric Dilation Volvulus, a life-threatening condition requiring veterinary intervention.
  • Yeast has ethanol content which can cause alcohol poisoning. It can lead to vomiting, seizures, irregular breathing, and even fatality.
