Moscow mule is a popular cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. It is a refreshing and tasty drink for humans, but it is not recommended for dogs to consume. Dogs should not be given alcoholic beverages as it can lead to alcohol poisoning, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, and even death.
In extreme cases where a dog accidentally consumes a Moscow mule or any other alcoholic beverage, it is essential to seek immediate veterinary attention. The vet may induce vomiting or provide supportive care to prevent further damage to the dog’s organs.
Safer alternatives to Moscow mule for dogs include plain water and coconut water. Both are hydrating and safe for dogs to consume in moderation. It is always best to consult with a veterinarian before introducing any new food or beverage to your dog's diet.
