Can a Chihuahua eat tea?

❌ Toxic ⚠️ Vet emergency if he ate it

NO. It contains caffeine too.

Why

Same principle as coffee, at a lower concentration. Used tea bags are also dangerous if he chews them.

What to give him instead of tea

An adult Chihuahua weighs about 3 to 6 pounds, so an amount that wouldn't bother a big dog can be serious for him. That's why there's no margin with dangerous foods: the best plan is to keep them out of his reach entirely. His diet should be built on a good-quality dry food made for toy breeds, and treats shouldn't go over 10% of his daily calories.
