If in doubt, always call your vet or the Animal Poison Line immediately.

Why It's Dangerous

Green tea contains caffeine, which overstimulates a dog's heart and nervous system. Brewed tea is more diluted than dry leaves or bags, but a large amount, or concentrated green tea extract, can still deliver a meaningful dose.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Restlessness
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Vomiting
  • Tremors in larger amounts
  • Seizures in severe cases

Vet Guidance

Monitor after a small amount of brewed tea. Contact your vet if a large quantity was drunk or if your dog ate dry leaves or a concentrated extract.
