Fun–Will the Fur Fly Between the Domestic & Import Hooch for Your Pooch?

You might have heard about a new “beer” for dogs. Hondenbier is being called Bowser Brew…it is not a good idea to give canines real beer–it is not good for them and can cause real harm since they cannot properly digest and metabolize it.

So is canine beer the solution? Since when do dogs need beer to have a good time? Will this give new meaning to the phrase “party animal?”

The domestic beer for dogs has been around since at least 2005. Beer that has gone to the dogs include Happy Tail Ale produced by Jamie Miller under the name of Dog Star Brewing–what you might not know is that when the governator toured Napa Valley he took some Happy Tail Ale home.

Dogs seem to be lapping it up–but the hooch for your pooch making the news is the Dutch Kwispelbier produced by Terrie Berenden…so there you have it.

–Is there a competition between the domestic beer and the import for our cos-mutt-politan pets?
–What other trends are there in the works for pet owners?
–Do discerning dogs have a preference for one of the bowser beers over the other?
