No. Dogs should not have ginger beer. Ginger beer contains high amounts of sugar and carbonation that can potentially cause stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting in dogs. Ginger beer often has additives and preservatives that can be harmful to dogs when consumed in large quantities.

Risks

health-risks
  • Ginger beer, like ginger ale, typically contains high levels of sugar and often contain additives like ginger flavoring and spices. These ingredients can be harmful to dogs and may cause digestive problems, dehydration, and even toxicity. Too much sugar may cause hyperactivity as well as an increased risk of diabetes and tooth decay.
  • Traditional ginger beers are made of ginger spice, yeast, and sugar which undergo a natural fermentation process and thus have alcohol content. Modern ginger beers are carbonated and non-alcoholic, but contain higher sugar content.
  • Ingesting the carbonation from the ginger beer can cause gas and lead to stomach upset or vomiting in dogs.
