Particularly Dangerous and Harmful for Dogs and Cats
Tea for Dogs
Tea is strictly not recommended for dogs, as it contains caffeine, which is toxic to them. Caffeine can lead to serious health problems, including rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, nervousness, seizures, and even death. Black, green, and other types of tea contain caffeine, which can be dangerous for dogs even in small amounts.
If a dog accidentally drinks tea or consumes products containing caffeine, immediate veterinary attention is necessary. Tea and other caffeine-containing products should be stored in places inaccessible to dogs to prevent accidental ingestion.
Tea for Cats
Tea is also extremely dangerous for cats, as it contains caffeine, a powerful stimulant. Caffeine can cause severe symptoms in cats, such as increased agitation, rapid heart rate, vomiting, seizures, and even death. Cats are especially sensitive to the effects of caffeine, so even a small amount of tea can have serious consequences.
Never give cats tea or other beverages containing caffeine. If you suspect that your cat has drunk tea, contact a veterinarian immediately. Tea should be kept in places inaccessible to cats to prevent accidental consumption.
