Hi - I have had a few Boxers - and others - that enjoyed sneaking some of
my coffee whenever they could. I did notice a bit more hyper-activity
after, but not a big amount. Likely because I would not let them do much
more than sneak a sip because they would always 'laugh' after!
Meantime though, my suggestion is to either NOT& allow it or to limit it -
we all know caffeine is not good for *us* anyway, and it does tend to
affect dogs more. Different metabolism and size. No point in looking for
things to worry about health-wise.
