My dog was near an alcohol bottle. Is he out of danger after 2 hours?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 20 lbs

we had this alcohol drink in a 5L bottle(not sure the name of it in english but its high in alcohol)it was empty(only a very small of it bc we couldnt fully empty it).my mom put it next to the door to take it to the trash and i didn’t notice.the only way my dog would be able to get any liquid would be if he knocked it down(which he didnt, and the sides of the bottle were dry so nothing was poured out),it was untouched. my dog is completely normal after 2 hours. do you think hes out of danger?

If you didn't see any evidence of the bottle being disturbed and if Alex is completely normal, it seems unlikely that he got into it. Do make sure to properly dispose of the bottle and it's contents. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
