🐱 Can cats eat this? →Why
The ripe red fruit is safe as an occasional treat. The green parts — leaves, stems and unripe green tomatoes — contain solanine and tomatine, which can be harmful in quantity, so keep dogs out of the tomato patch.
If you do share it
A small amount of washed, ripe red tomato with no stem or leaves. Avoid green/unripe tomatoes.
