Interesting idea. BUT, the veterinary community is about to learn just how common gluten intolerance (celiac disease) is in the pet just as we have recently learned about the true incidence in humans.

Celiac authorities now estimate that the incidence of celiac diseae in people is 1:30 while that of gluten sensitivity could be as high as 1:3. From my experince, the incidence of gluten intolerance in pets must be VERY high, with the poster child being the Irish setter.

Most beer contains gluten as it is derived from barley, one of the three gluten grains (wheat, barley, & rye). However, there are two new beers for us "celiacs" (gluten intolerants)- Redbridge, distributed by Anheuser-Busch, and New Grist, made by Lakefront Brewery. These are brewed using the alternatives to the gluten grains, being made from sorghum and rice.

Dogs do seem to like the taste of beer so it would be better to have a non-alcoholic beverage made from gluten-free grains like the ones above. THOSE would be on the cutting edge of what we know to be THE most important nutritional information of our time.

I hope this helps,

John

Thank you Dogtor J for all the info.

My old dog never really was tempted by beer, he hated the smell. I would not even dare give him something we have tried and tested before because of his age and his sensitive stomach.

But you raise an important point about food intolerance with animals. I know a little bit about celiac disease because a neighbor's son has the condition, so anytime I bake anything for them I double check all the ingredients with her to make sure its nothing that can cause a reaction.

In all probability I would not even know about it were it not for the fact that someone I know suffers from it.

I just felt I needed to drop in and mention howdy to everyone. I wanted to acquaint me, my name is Ashley.

I decided to post now because I think message board as a whole is very functional and informal place. I enjoy reading all of the topics and topics here and taking into consideration that I don't post much, I came to the conclusion to create my very initial thread.

I recently created my first site and desired to share it with everyone and receive some constructive feedback.
