Can dogs eat tomatoes?

In moderation

Ripe red tomato is generally fine in small amounts; the green parts and plant contain solanine.

Ripe, red tomato flesh is generally listed as safe for dogs in small amounts. The documented caution is the green parts of the plant, including stems, leaves and unripe green tomatoes, which contain solanine and are treated as the part to keep away from dogs.
