Can dogs eat caffeine?
If your dog has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Toxic to dogs. Dogs cannot process caffeine the way humans do, leading to rapid absorption that overstimulates their heart and nervous system. This toxicity can trigger severe symptoms like restlessness, rapid breathing, and heart palpitations that require immediate emergency care.
