whitka Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Was just wondering if tomatoes are bad for dogs, my boy Toby really likes them and is stealing them from our garden. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizzi Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I grew cherry tomatoes last year and, when I was picking them, I would throw any with split skins to Calypso - he loved them. However, I stopped feeding them to him when I noticed he was getting really proppy on his bad leg. I thought the acidity might have been aggravating his arthritis. Still not sure it was the tomatoes, but he certainly improved after I stopped giving them to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitka Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 We have only started growing them and we gave one to Toby to see if he liked them. He seems to really enjoy them and now he sometimes helps himself to the ones in the garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Rules Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 There's a pinned thread at the top of this forum about particular foods dogs shouldn't eat and tomatoes is on the list.......however I do give my boys the tomatoes that go soft and one really likes them. As Jed said, the odd one won't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildairbc Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Cripes, my dogs LOVE tomatoes and eat them like candy! Even the baby pups, when out to play, will find the tomato plants and start pulling them off. I have never seen any bad reaction. Know lots of other dogs, too, that love tomatoes. I belive that the stem and leaves may not be too great for them, but they don't seem interested in that part, anyway! They even eat green tomatoes. In fact, if I want any produce for myself, I have to fence it in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolietas Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I've been told that they are bad for dogs - but have never been able to find anything on the net about the fruit being bad...but you will find that the plants themselves are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvabull Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) I've heard that they are ok for dogs but not for older dogs with arthritis or problem joints :rolleyes: Same with humans with arthritis :D ETA: You can google "tomatoes and arthritis" for info Edited January 2, 2008 by luvabull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
