Can Dogs Eat Tomatoes?

Verdict
Feed with caution

Ripe red flesh is okay; green parts are toxic.

Why it is risky

Ripe tomato flesh is non-toxic in small amounts. Green tomatoes, stems, and leaves contain solanine which is toxic.

Safe portion

A few small pieces of ripe red tomato occasionally.

Symptoms to watch for

Green tomato ingestion: vomiting, diarrhoea, weakness, confusion.

Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian or a pet poison helpline immediately. This page is editorial guidance, not emergency advice for an individual animal.
