Beer for Dogs? - haopee - 10-18-2012
There's this new beer out. It's called Bowser Beer and it's made for dogs. Yes, folks! You heard that right. It especially caters for dogs.
I'm a little confused. Why would someone make something like this. I mean, it's like the invention of cigarettes.
It's not alcoholic nor is it carbonated, by the way.

I think it's silly. I have a relative who regularly gives his dog beer and he loves it. I don't think it's appropriate at all, but he does. So maybe this beer tastes really good, but because there's no alcohol or carbonation, then it makes it healthier and acceptable?

I have never understood why people think dogs are missing out because they can't have people food or drink. Most dogs aren't all that discerning when it comes to what they consume. They'll eat whatever you put in front of them. I don't think they see their owner with a beer and wish they could pop one open, too.
I think it's a dumb idea. I just don't see the point of it. I would have to wonder what ingredients are in it even if it is non-alcoholic.

So, let me see if I get this straight there is now a form of beer for dogs, so someone decided to create dog alcoholl? All right, so its suppose to be non- alcoholic but still why would anyone create such a thing or think there would be an actual market for it? To be honest I would never buy such a thing for my dogs, and I am sure I'm not alone in that feeling.

I know what you mean. Back when dogs did't have dog food and went all natural, it was rare that they got tooth decay from treats and dog food.
It's like saying dogs should have vices to make them happy. Well, that' s just how I think of it. As I've said, it's like the fact that humans lives grew statistically shorter lives after smoking, fast food and drugs was invented.

Well...that's a new niche area for marketing...though a really, really bad one. I don't know who would even invest in that company. "Hey, I'm gonna make dog beer, want to buy some shares? Certainly nothing can POSSIBLY go wrong...except in the trials, Spot somehow managed to drunk dial Missy from down the street, which is weird considering he has no thumbs..."

I think the question of not having alcohol or not being carbonated is besides the point. The main question is why give beer to dogs at all. Beer is not anywhere on the list of recommended food and drink for dogs. This kind of thing, in my opinion, would be as bad as, say, making beer suitable for babies.
