Bowl of tea

[bigbus]

is it ok for dogs to have a bowl of tea and if so is it ok to put sugar in it?

dogs should only have dog food. so no tea is not ok. atleast i don't think so.

I feed my cat lamb, beef, trout and salmon cat food. How can this be natural? Has anybody ever seen a cat attack and eat a cow?

If you are going to give your dog tea, cool it a bit first and go easy on the milk and sugar.

My british bulldog always used to have about 3rd of a cup of tea every afternoon, it didn't seem to have any adverse effects.

As always, everything in moderation. A small bowl or cup of tea won't do any harm, but too much caffeine is dangerous for dogs. Mine usually take it in turns to lick out the bottom of my cup. I would not put any sugar in it though, other than any that you already have in your own tea.

Many people give their dogs tea when they have theirs, they don't really need it, but they feel like they are sharing (and the dogs sit and stare at them) and as I said, a little won't do any harm.

Lankeela has a point - it is hard to enjoy something when you have two, or more, beedy eyes staring at you.

I eat all my meals with fourteen eyes staring at me!

[lankeela]

All food is food - It only becomes dog food when you give it to a dog!

LOL Bigeye - OMG are there spiders with fourteen eyes?

Actually I forgot the four snails, so you can add on another 8!

bigbus - no, I'm a noah-all!
