Hi doggy lovers does anyone know if its ok to give your dog tea with a bit of sugar in while they are pregnant??

I doubt it. Caffeine isn't good for dogs, nor is milk or sugar. My dogs have had the odd half inch of tea from the bottom of a mug from time to time but I would never let them drink a whole cup. And if she is pregnant she requires better nutrition than normal.

I agree totally with Cigwyllt. Your dog is probably liking the tea because of the sugar---Dogs love sweets, which are definitely not good for them! You could check it out to see if she really does like the pure tea by giving her a little plain decaffeinated green tea.----Just to see!

I agree with the previous posts, try giving your dog some noncaffeinated tea, with no sugar or milk and see if the dog still likes it. If she does, then I would probably say giving her a little here and there wouldnt be an issue as long as the bad stuff is left out. But then again, I would also consult a vet perhaps first since I'm not positive!

Im going to agree with the other posts, caffeine is really not good for dogs, nor is cows milk, and i would definitely keep a pregnant bitch away from it.

Try her on a little 'red bush' tea, which is naturally caffeine free omit the sugar and milk, if she likes it a little now and then shouldn't hurt, though as I say, I'd be wary of letting a pregnant bitch have anything which might potentially (no matter how remote the risk) damage her or the pups.

I think I've read this question before.. My answer's the same though.
Since tea contains caffeine, and caffeine's a definite no-no for dogs,
so I suggesting opting for another alternative.

seem everyone is in agreement here.
Caffeine is bad for dogs and all animals
Sugar excess can cause cancers etc
Milk is ok if lactose free (you need to buy puppy specific milk).

Our dog has a taste for non dog food like popcorn which every month or so we allow him to have some of, because its only a small amount and he doesnt seem to get sick afterwards.

Though in this case it would appear that everything in the tea is bad for him so best not to let him have any, unless its really really diluted. Hope that helps.
