A puppy that eats tea may become unusually excited, nauseous, or vomit. Tea contains caffeine and theobromine that stimulate the central nervous system.
Caffeine can also dilate vessels, affect circulation, and irritate the gut, causing nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
If the dog eats a large amount and reacts badly, take it to a vet at once.
