  • Bubble tea is made with tea, milk, ice, sugar, and boba or tapioca pearls. Other ingredients can be added, like fruits, juices, or flavored syrups. These ingredients are not healthy for dogs and provide little nutritional value.
  • Different types of tea can be used to make bubble tea, including black tea, green tea, herbal tea, and fruit tea. So, bubble tea contains some amount of caffeine, anywhere from 20 to 80 mg. Caffeine is a stimulant that can cause adverse effects, especially when consumed in large amounts.
  • Boba tapioca pearls are made from cassava root starch. Although they're not toxic to dogs, they can cause stomach upset and digestive issues when consumed in large amounts. They are also a choking hazard.
  • Most dogs are lactose intolerant, so they have difficulty digesting lactose in milk and other dairy products. As a result, when ingested, they may experience symptoms of digestive problems, such as vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, and bloating.
