Is safe for a dog to eat tomatoes?

You are right, picjim. Puppies eat almost everything. At least my puppy Binne does that. Probably that's the way they get to know the surrounding world.

Poor little dog. Don't blame yourself for what happened. Many dog owners leave toy-ropes when puppies are left alone and nothing bad happened. I think it was an accident. My other dog had the same bad habit of eating inedible things. One month after she came to my home she vomited pieces of yellow linoleum (1-1.5 inches long). And we didn't have linoleum anywhere in the house. I thought she ate it when she was with her brothers, at the breeder.

Lol i know the feeling, ive owned several dogs now, i used to have a German Shepard and a staff both at the time were aged 2 and under and unfortunately i did have linoleum in my kitchen, well i lived in a privately rented house and the dogs destroyed the lino while i was at work oneday, i replaced the lino for exactly the same at 300 pound sterling 4m by 4m, well this wasn't the last time they did it, i think 6 replacements later i finally moved out of the house, the dogs just had a thing for lino, they wouldn't touch it for a month or two and then one day out the blue it would be in tiny littlepieces all over the kitchen and 2 grand later i really couldn't do it again. I also used to have a english springer spaniel who ate anything including tin cans and glass i was forever getting cut chasing him around and pulling them out of his mouth. I now have a japanese akita she just steals my childrens food and digs constantly in my back garden.

Actually most dogs do keep away from the leaves, but not all, my little one is crazy, loves to pull them and play with them. I had to move the tomatoes to another place because of her:)By the way the same thing with potato spuds, not good for doggies

Binne didn't ate tomato leaves, yet I have to be very carefull with her when we will go to visit my parents. They have a nice vegetables garden, I think I have to keep Binne away from it. LOL

Thanks missweety! Binne also eats almost everything but she is 6 months old. What age is your dog? Is she a puppy? I'm asking you because I hope Binne will outgrow the bad habit of eating inedible things.

You made me curious with the watermelon. It's season has just begun, and Binne will surely want to taste them.

Thanks for the link, sumanadep. I do know about carrots, peppers, celery and broccoli that they are good for a dog's diet. I used to give my other dog carrots and peppers. I also give Binne carrots. She likes them and she chews them like a rabbit :))

My dog gets lots of veg on a sunday she always gets the left overs from any meal (even eats my vindaloo lol)all my dogs have eaten veg to a certain degree,just some fruits and veg such as tomatoes she rarley takes a liking to.

I am relaxed now. :) I called the breeder to ask her about airedales and tomatoes. She laughed, because Binne's grandmother likes tomatoes and steals tomatoes, too. She said this grandma thief also steals carrots and potatoes and eats them. Tomorrow morning we are going to visit the vet, to find out his oppinion, too.

It seems the tomato didn't do any harm to Binne. It has been almost 24 hours since she ate the tomato and she's OK.

I'm glad I could help you by creating this discussion. :)

Binne is only a puppy and she tries and tastes everything, no matter it is food or anything else. I usualy don't let her eat things, unless I know they are good for a dog. But this time she stole the tomato, and when I saw her it was late.

He he! Chankov, I don't have a plan to but Binne on tomatoes diet. She stole the tomatoe, and I want to know if it is good to let her eat tomatoes from time to time, as she seemed to like the one she ate.

I knew about chocholate. Fortunately, I don't like chocholate, so there is no temptation for Binne :))

Thank you sasyke96 for sharing your experience. Binne feels good so far, but I won't give her another tomato until I ask our vet. Glad to find out there are other dogs that also like tomatoes. :)

Thank you, chrisdarryn. Fortunately, it seems Binne is not allergic to tomatoes. She feels good so far. I know I'm lucky that she eats almost everything (and I'm talking only about food, here). I had a dog wich was a fussy eater, and I know how it is when a dog turns her nose away from food.
