Did you know tomatoes are actually fruits and not vegetables? That’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Tomatoes are fruits that come in a range of colors, shapes and sizes. Each type of tomato has its own special characteristics when it comes to flavor and nutrition. Generally, tomatoes are known to contain vitamins A, B6, C, E & K, magnesium, calcium and more. Tomatoes are versatile when it comes to cooking. You can use them raw in salads, grilled, or even cooked along with other veggies.
Can my dog eat tomatoes? Can my puppy eat tomatoes? Tomatoes may be healthy for humans, but they’re not good for dogs.

However, if he eats a large amount he could end up with an upset tummy, diarrhea.
