HEALTH RISK WARNING - GREEN TEA It is relatively common to see that dogs react to certain foods differently than humans. Good examples are grapes and chocolate, and also tea. The topic of chronic toxicity of green tea on dogs was studied in 2011. This study revealed that green tea extracts can cause lethal liver, gastrointestinal, and renal toxicities in fasted dogs. The main findings were necrosis of the liver cells, gastrointestinal lining, kidney damage, degeneration of reproductive organs, and bone marrow disorders.* While the damage was found only in dogs that were fasted, it is very clear that green tea carries a substantial risk to dogs, and in my opinion, there is no reason to take such risk. peterdobias/blogs/blog/16797092-is-green-tea-toxic-to-dogs
