Should You Leave Your Dog In The Dark?

In this article, we’ve put together some information about Kahlua and whether it can make a dog sick. Let’s get started!

What is Kahlua?

Kahlua is a brand of coffee liqueur made by the Pernod Ricard company, located in Veracruz, Mexico. The drink is a yummy mix of rum, sugar, and arabica coffee!

Kahlua may be enjoyed on its own; however, it can also be used in other ways. For one thing, the alcoholic drink can be used in cocktails, used to bake in desserts, and even as a topping on ice cream, cakes and other desserts.

The drink is often mixed with milk, cream, coffee, and cocoa, too. And because the beverage is made with coffee, it does contain caffeine. For example, one 1.5 oz drink of Kahlua can contain about 5 mg of coffee. While that’s not as much as a regular 8oz cup of coffee, it’s enough to make a dog sick.

Can Kahlua Make a Dog Sick?

Unfortunately, yes, Kahlua can make a dog very sick. The reason is the alcohol and caffeine contained in the drink. In fact, alcohol poisoning is a very common problem seen in dogs.

Keep in mind the caffeine in Kahlua is not very high, so if your dog has one lick of this drink, he should be OK. A small dog may become a little bit hyperactive but should be OK. The larger danger comes from the alcohol.

Symptoms of Alcohol Toxicity in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms in your dog if he’s drunk Kahlua:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Disorientation
  • Drunkenness
  • Loss of bodily control
  • Excessive drooling
  • Excitement that may change to depression
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Dehydration
  • Slow heart rate
  • Seizures
  • Heart rhythm issues

If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog or suspect he’s had Kahlua, then call the vet immediately. This is an emergency.

The good news is that with prompt treatment, most dogs will make a full recovery after drinking Kahlua. However, the best way to keep your dog safe and healthy is to keep this and other alcoholic drinks out of your dog’s reach.
