今すぐやるべきこと
- 1
Step 1: Act Fast — Caffeine Absorbs Quickly
Remove any remaining caffeine source. Caffeine is absorbed within 30-60 minutes — time is critical for decontamination.

Step 2: Call Poison Control or Vet Immediately
📞 ASPCA Poison Control: (888) 426-4435. Have the product label ready to report caffeine content in mg.

Step 3: Do NOT Induce Vomiting If Symptoms Present
⚠️ If your dog shows trembling, hyperactivity, or seizures, inducing vomiting risks aspiration. Only induce if instructed by a professional AND your dog is asymptomatic within 30 minutes of ingestion.

Step 4: Monitor Heart and Breathing
Watch for rapid breathing, restlessness, and elevated heart rate. Caffeine causes cardiac arrhythmias — if your dog collapses or has difficulty breathing, go to emergency vet NOW.
その背後の科学
カフェイン（1,3,7-トリメチルキサンチン）はアデノシン受容体拮抗薬およびホジエステラーゼ阻害薬です。犬では、中枢神経系の刺激、心筋収縮、平滑筋弛緩を引き起こします。犬は人間よりもカフェインをはるかに遅く代謝します—犬の半減期は4.5時間に対して人間は3時間です。これにより毒性効果が延長します。高用量では、カフェインは過剫なカテコールアミン放出を引き起こし、頻脈、細動、そして死に至る可能性があります（ASPCA、2023）。

よくある質問
How much caffeine is toxic to dogs?
Mild symptoms appear at 20mg/kg of body weight. Severe toxicity occurs at 60mg/kg. The lethal dose (LD50) is approximately 140mg/kg. For a 20kg dog, this equals roughly 2,800mg of caffeine — about 28 cups of coffee. However, even small amounts (1-2 caffeine pills of 200mg each) can cause serious symptoms in small dogs.
What are the symptoms of caffeine poisoning in dogs?
Symptoms appear within 1-2 hours and include: restlessness, hyperactivity, vomiting, elevated heart rate, tremors, seizures, and collapse. Caffeine is absorbed rapidly and affects the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. Severe cases cause cardiac arrhythmias that can be fatal.
Should I induce vomiting if my dog ate caffeine?
Inducing vomiting may be recommended if ingestion occurred within 30 minutes and your dog is alert. However, caffeine is rapidly absorbed and can cause seizures — never induce vomiting if your dog shows any neurological symptoms. Call ASPCA Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 for guidance.
What is the treatment for caffeine poisoning in dogs?
Treatment includes: induced vomiting (if early), activated charcoal to reduce absorption, IV fluids for elimination, anti-arrhythmic medications for heart issues, anti-seizure medications, and temperature regulation. Hospitalization is typically required for 24-48 hours. Prognosis is good with early treatment.
