Here's why:
* Caffeine: Tea contains caffeine, which can be toxic to puppies. It can cause hyperactivity, restlessness, tremors, and even heart problems.
* Theanine: While tea contains L-theanine, which has calming effects in adults, it's still not recommended for puppies. The effects of theanine on puppies are not well understood.
* Digestive Issues: Tea can cause digestive upset in puppies, especially if they are not used to it.
* Water is Best: Puppies need plenty of fresh, clean water. This is their primary source of hydration.
Instead of giving tea, focus on providing your Bichon Frise puppy with a balanced diet of puppy food and plenty of water.
If you have any concerns about your puppy's health, please consult with your veterinarian.
