Pomeranian's Cunning Strategy To Get His 'Morning Tea'

A Pomeranian has given "spill the tea" a whole new, literal meaning and people are obsessing.

Every morning while TikTok user @rowannbennett drinks a cup of tea, her Pomeranian joins her on the couch. But what should be a peaceful way to start the day is the opposite.

This dog owner cannot take a sip of her tea without the dog side-eyeing her. The 9-year-old pet has a face of disbelief and shock that she has not offered him a sip of her morning brew yet. How rude!

But don't worry, she caves and this doggo gets the very last sip every single time.

You can't have a dog without expecting them to beg for a little nibble of your food. To be fair, you would beg for anything too if you were stuck eating the same meal day in and day out.

"They're so funny. My dog will eat anything going on but strangely never got the taste for tea. It's the only peace I get," wrote one viewer.

Another user added: "Aww! Such a wonderful thing. A friend to share morning tea with."

Some viewers of the November 9 TikTok video demanded the dog owner make him a cup of his own. The creator posted a video in response to this idea. The only problem is that he only wants her cup of tea.

Thankfully this Pomeranian only drinks the smallest drop of tea left since caffeine is toxic to dogs and can be fatal in high quantities. While some teas are a definite no, such as black tea, Earl Grey, oolong tea, white tea, and caffeinated green tea, others are fine in moderation, according to Purina.

Dogs can drink some herbal teas in small amounts. However, Purina suggests asking your vet before starting up the kettle. And as always, water is the best choice above everything.

Peppermint tea can help soothe upset stomachs and reduce nausea in dogs. Chamomile tea has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Similarly, ginger tea is antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, which could help with canine arthritis, gas, bloating, and nausea from travel. Each of these teas must be drunk in moderation, and before turning to tea to treat your dog's symptoms, always check in with your veterinarian.
