The stems, leaves, and flowers of tomato plants contain a toxin that can cause tremors and irregular heartbeat. If a dog eats a large number of green tomatoes, it can also cause problems.

Ripe tomatoes should not be a problem for dogs to eat. In fact, many dogs enjoy them.

My dog Mason, a 23 lb. rat terrier, eats tomatoes like they are going out of style. He has never had any ill effects, not even loose stool. Just today he helped himself to two Roma plum tomatoes from my garden (more like HIS garden, ha ha) and sat in the sun and ate them both. Now ain't that the life? He is a very odd dog though. He also begs for bell peppers, and watermelon. I read on-line that the green parts of tomatoes (ie stems, leaves, etc.) contain toxins dangerous to dogs and humans-But I have never had a problem with him eating these inedible parts. it dosent harm dogs dont worry about it =]

It can be with extended use. pH is not the reason for brown spots (which is why most people give their dogs tomato sauce), grass dies because of toxic levels of nitrogen. Feeding additives such as tomato, vinegar or baking soda to your dog will not stop the brown spots, and can actually be harmful to your dog! It could result in urinary tract disease, crystals, bladder stones, and bladder infections with extended use.

Bad chemistry for dogs in tomatoes :

"Tomatoes (plant and fruit) contain tomatine, an alkaloid related to solanine. As the fruit ripens, the tomatine is metabolized. Therefore, ripe tomatoes are less likely to be problematic for animals. Clinical signs of poisoning include lethargy, drooling, difficulty breathing, colic, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, widely-dilated pupils, paralysis, cardiac effects, central nervous system signs (e.g., ataxia, muscle weakness, tremors, seizures), resulting from cholinesterase inhibition, coma and death"

Tomato sauce is also full of sugar and salt: not good for dogs.

Yes, the only thing they can't eat are: cooked bones, onions and chocolate.

AND garlic and grapes/raisins. they are toxic and cause liver failure.
