Can Dogs Eat Tomatoes?
🟢 Yes, in small amounts
Yes, ripe tomato flesh in small amounts. The green parts of the plant — stems, leaves and unripe green tomatoes — contain solanine and should be avoided.
How to give tomatoes safely
- Ripe red tomato only, in small pieces.
- Keep dogs out of tomato plants in the garden.
- Skip sauces and soups, which often contain onion and garlic.
If your dog ate too much
A dog that ate a lot of the green plant may drool, vomit or seem weak or wobbly — call your vet.
