Was racking my beer and my dog decided to drink out of my sanitizer bucket. It was starsan diluted to the standard 1oz per 5 gallons. Will it hurt her? She's 60lbs, probably drank a few mouthfuls.

And sanitary!

I don't think a couple slurps will hurt her. Keep her away from the hops though.

Starsan is a phosphoric acid solution, no horrible cleaners or toxins in it. If it was my dog and they weren't hurting after 30 minutes, then I wouldn't sweat it. I am not a vet.

It's fine. Thats why its no rise at that concentration. Remember they eat their own poo.
I wouldn't worry any more than if they licked up a spilled Coke....(pretty high levels of phosphoric acid in Coke too...)

Yeah, I kinda figured it was fine. I'm anal about hops around the dogs, but wasn't paying attention to my sanitizer bucket. Guess I'll have to watch it more carefully from now on.

I believe I read on here that the owner/creator of Star-san actually drank a glass of it to prove it was safe.

I have a harder time trying to keep my dog away from my homebrew when I brew. 
Didn't someone on here do a mini shot of undiluted Star San recently?
If poop comes out a foam snake, take a pic.

That would definitely go viral on youtube!
That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. Cheers!

Ha, she was fine, wild as ever. Speaking of getting things out of the garbage...my older dog knows how to nose the lid of the can open, he got a whole Cornish hen carcass out the other day, he had the entire thing in his mouth, but couldn't see it, but he was acting all goofy and trying to hide so I knew he had something...I practically needed jaws of life to pry that thing away from him.
Oh, and judging by your description of what your dog got out if the garbage, I'm fairly certain I know what it is, and mine has done the same.

That's ok. I used to have a newfie mix that could open the refrigerator. We had 3 big dogs, and he'd open the door for all of 'em. Nothing like coming home to $200 worth of empty grocery wrappers all over the house. As smart as he was, I never was able to train that dog to get me a beer.

Yeah, even small amounts of hops are toxic to dogs.
