MINNEAPOLIS, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- It's school finals season. Whether it's a cup of joe, a chocolate bar or an energy drink, caffeine consumption during school finals increases faster than skyrocketing tuition. While most students can handle the extra jolt of energy, dogs and cats are much more sensitive to the effects of the stimulant.

Key Points: 
  • "The reactions that humans feel from consuming caffeine, such as an increased heart rate, are intensified in pets.
  • Although most people consume caffeine in a drink, or in treats like chocolate or chewing gum, caffeine pills are also still heavily marketed and purchased.
  • "Regardless of its form, caffeine has the same negative effects on your pet's health," Dr. Schmid added.
  • Maxwell did a quick internet search and found that caffeine can be dangerous to pets, so she rushed Cooper to Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in Alpharetta, Georgia.
