  • Cacao husk tea is a herbal tea made from the dried and roasted shells of cocoa beans. Although cacao husks do not have caffeine, they contain a stimulant called theobromine, which is toxic to dogs. Dogs process theobromine very slowly, which allows the toxic compound to build up.
  • Symptoms of toxicity include vomiting, tremors, rapid heart rate, and internal bleeding.
