| Yes, they do love tea! Mine sneaks little slurps when I'm not looking. When it is near the end of the cup their whole face fits right in, it really is the funniest thing to see! Tammy |

| Caffeine poisoning is not as common as chocolate poisoning but it is still seen occasionally Caffeine is present in * : coffee instant 65mg/cup percolated 100mg/cup tea - 15-75mg/cup cocoa - 10-17 mg/cup# chocolate - 60-70mg/bar# some cola drinks - 40-65 mg/12oz can Lucozade 18mg/100g Some cold treatments Some pain killers Caffeine stimulant tablets Caffeine stimulant drinks (eg Red Bull) # The main stimulant and potential toxin in chocolate and cocoa is theobromine. If enough is eaten it can be fatal for both dogs and cats. The lethal dose of caffeine for dogs and cats is 150mg/kg body weight, and regular instant coffee contains over 60mg caffeine per teaspoon - so for a 3 kg cat 8 teaspoons of coffee would be potentially fatal, and there is NO ANTIDOTE. Signs of poisoning that may be noticed by owners include : Excitement Increased breathing rate Increased heart rate Muscle tremors Fits Bleeding Veterinarians may also detect : Abnormal heart rhythm (called arrhythmias) Generalised congestion |

| That's a super cute pic!! Just keep in mind that tea contains caffeine and tannins which are both toxic to dogs, so hopefully she's just being curious and not actually drinking.

| that's a lot of caffeine Quote:
I checked my can of Coke and there is 34mg in the entire can. So it would take a lot to poison them. | |

| My parents' retrievers drink beer, coffee, iced tea, and basically anything the non-furries are drinking. They're as healthy as horses. (Beer is their favorite. They each can drink a bottle apiece in a sitting. They love it!) Not saying you're wrong, phfgkl, just saying my dogs personally have never had an issue... |
