What You Need to Know
Batteries present multiple serious dangers to dogs. Chewing a standard alkaline AA or AAA battery releases potassium hydroxide — a highly caustic substance that burns tissue on contact. Small lithium button batteries are the most dangerous — they generate an electrical current when lodged in tissue causing severe necrotic burns within hours. This is a genuine emergency regardless of battery type.
