Can cats and dogs eat tomatoes?

Cats and dogs can be fed tomatoes in moderation. Tomatoes are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps with digestive health in cats and dogs. However, if you feed tomatoes in large quantities, it will be harmful to the health of cats and dogs, and symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea may occur.
Notes when feeding tomatoes to cats and dogs:
1. Feed them ripe tomatoes. Tomatoes contain solanine, which is harmful to all animals, but solanine will decrease as the tomatoes mature. You can occasionally feed ripe tomatoes to cats and dogs.
2. When feeding tomatoes to cats and dogs, remove the tomato leaves. The tomatine in tomato leaves is toxic to cats and dogs, and eating it can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in cats and dogs.
3. Don’t feed cats and dogs too many tomatoes at one time. Tomatoes are acidic and can easily cause problems for cats and dogs with gastrointestinal problems.
