The concept of deliberately altering a canine’s mental state through intoxicating substances is one that raises significant ethical and animal welfare concerns. Administering substances with the intent to induce intoxication in a dog can lead to unpredictable and potentially harmful physiological and psychological effects, including disorientation, anxiety, vomiting, seizures, and even death. Such actions can be interpreted as animal abuse, potentially resulting in legal repercussions.
Protecting the well-being of animals is paramount, and intentionally exposing them to intoxicating substances offers no discernible benefit. Historically, there is no accepted veterinary or ethical justification for such practices. Instead, responsible pet ownership emphasizes providing a safe and nurturing environment, which involves safeguarding them from harmful substances and ensuring their physical and mental health through proper care, training, and veterinary attention.
