NO! Caffeine in any form is lethal to dogs (I'm not sure about cats). If dogs consume it, they can actually die, whether it's tea, coffee, or even chocolate. And if you mean by putting the tea on their coats, then no, it's not good for them that way, either. The tannin in tea has a drying effect and can dry out their coat and skin, causing a lot of problems for them.

Yes, dogs should eat dog food not human food the natural diet for a dog is meat some veg and a little grain this is properly balanced in the numerous good quality dog foods on the market, don't feed your dog human treats it is not good for him.

it depends on the quantity that is consumed....... the caffeine in it can be toxic, but that depends on the dogs weight and size and again.... how much is consumed. Their heart rate increases, which can cause a fatal heart attack. If a dog consumes a food/drink with caffeine in it and you are worried, always call your vet.

probabaly not

adult dogs can't have too much milk - it is bad for them - and the teabag probably won't do much good either :(

i wouldn't do it if it was me cos a) the tea would b hot and b) milk reason above :(

out of interest, why would you want to give dogs tea anyway? :-\

No. In fact, peppermint tea is great if your dog's tummy is upset. I would definitely not recommend allowing your dog to ingest caffienated tea, though.

If you use goats milk it is fine, as this is a similar constitution to a dogs milk!

No!

Tea leaves have theobromine, which is the stuff in chocolate that kills dogs! (you should call a vet about these things.)
