Can Dogs Eat Bread Dough?
Verdict
Toxic — do not feed
Why it is toxic
Raw dough containing yeast keeps rising in a dog's warm stomach, which can cause painful bloating or a dangerous twisted stomach. As the yeast ferments it also produces alcohol, which is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Symptoms to watch for
A swollen, painful belly, retching without producing anything, restlessness, wobbliness and weakness. Contact your vet immediately.

Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian immediately. In the UK, pet owners can also call Animal PoisonLine (run by the Veterinary Poisons Information Service) on 01202 509000, a 24-hour paid triage service.
