Brew Dog?

[Talljake6110]

Yeah, hops are deadly, even spent hops in tiny amounts. Thats what happened with me. My dog got into maybe less than half an oz. and a few hours later noticed him drinking alot of water, panting very heavily and just looking uncomfortable. We took him to the emergency vet, he had a skyrocket fever and they had to do alot of emergency work to get him stable. Hops give dogs malignant hyperthermia, basically they get really really hot and can't cool themselves. It eventually effects organ functions.

From everything i've heard and read, they won't go after hops normally, on the vine or whatever, but once they are spent and covered in sweet wort, they want a taste. Thats what happened with me.

I'm lucky I've never had to deal with a dog eating hops. My dog will eat anything.

Note to self dispose of hops away from dog.

Oh yeah, hops are bad for pooches. Hops go in the trash. Grains go in the compost.

For a dog, I think it was said before, get a pound pup. Something medium sized about 4-6 months old. It may even be fixed. Unless you are the type that has a specific need in a dog other than being a dog, mutts can't be beat.

Love it, look after it, spend time with it, and you'll have a friend for life.

Black and Tan coonhound. They have such a great personality as a breed. Don't let it fool you though, they can be mischievous little buggers as well. Labs are awesome dogs too, ours I a little hyper but always friendly.

We have 3:
Nitro - 12 year old Pug mix - beyond lazy
Nellie - 6 year old Brittany - energetic and needy
Nikki - 8 month old Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler) she replaced Kronk our 12 year old Blue Heeler that passed away from cancer 2years ago. Nikki has discovered that she can jump and we think she believes she can fly. She is the Queen of Fetch!

I have two brew cats. They do not try to eat hops.

Pugs are lazy, I am lazy, hmm?
