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....
