Adders are not aggressive snakes, and they will only bite if they are disturbed. Although adder bites can be painful, they are rarely serious. For example, about 70% of adder bites only result in pain and swelling in the area of skin that was bitten There have only been 14 reported deaths caused by adder bites, with the last death occurring in 1975.

How venomous is the English adder Can an English adder's bite kill a cat or small dog?
The English adder can kill a human. However, nobody has been killed (and recorded) by an adder in England for over 20 years. Note that the English adder is not a large snake (70 cm or so) and it's not terribly common. England like much of Europe is very close to civilization at every place (unlike the united states for example), so no matter where you got bit, you'd most likely be able to make it to a hospital for treatment. Most people recover with nausea, maybe some vomiting and bruising at the bite location. However, without treatment and if the adder pumps a lot of venom....and it's a larger one....it could kill a human. Note also that adders are not vicious....they generally try to avoid contact with anything that isn't prey. So, only if they are bothered or stepped on would you expect to be bitten. So, to your question. If a dog or cat were bitten by an adder and didn't receive treatment, then yes, A dog of any size, is quite likely to die. Sorry.... -Donald -Alex

Can a wild vipera berus adder kill a human in England?
Practicaly no, ofcourse they can kill a child and a very old person but theyre venom isnt that strong to kill Adult Human being. But in rare cases, when human has allergic reaction to venom they can die fairly quick. Over centuries Vipera Berus (common adder) has kill only a few people (they have been fairly young or in the other case very old). But in any snake bite you should alwayas head to hospital, no matter how potent the venom is. I live in Estonia and here about 100 people each year gets tagged by them but no deaths.
