Thank you!
No problem

Decaf coffee has 2-12mg of caffeine, black tea has 14-70 (decaf has 0-12), and green tea has 24-45mg per 8oz.
Caffeine content for coffee, tea, soda and more - Mayo Clinic

My bigger concern with allowing a dog to drink more than a few sips of coffee or tea would be the acid.
