Raw dough is toxic to dogs due to the yeast it contains. The yeast ferments in the warm, moist environment of the stomach, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide. This can lead to alcohol poisoning and bloat.
How It Affects dogs
Yeast fermentation produces ethanol, causing alcohol poisoning. The expanding dough in the stomach can cause bloat and gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV).
Toxic Compound
Ethanol (alcohol) and expanding dough
