Are all tomato plants harmful to dogs?
Kim asked:
I heard yes but my vet said no. Is she wrong? What could happen to my dog if he eats them? Are some more harmful than others?
Im wondering because my dog has been vomitting for 2 days and hasnt been eating his food. Im trying to figure out if its something he ate? My vet said its not the tomato plant. We have been growing tomato plants for a few months, and he hasnt gotten sick before. Please help. thanks!

Tomatos are of the nightshade family which are toxic to dogs.
So yes it could be the tomatos. Find another vet for a second opinion.

yes the plants themsevles are toxic.. my mom does alot of gardening and she told me that the plants are even toxic to humans.. the fruit is the only edible part on the plant.

Plants themselves, the greenery, leaves and stems are. The fruit itself is fine, it is actually an ingrediant in many of the holistic and top quality dog foods
from wat i’ve heard,read,saw, etc. yes,they are bad for ff=them
but consult in not just your vet, but other vets.
The Tomato Shop
“These contain atropine which can cause dialated pupils, tremors and irregular heartbeat. The highest concentration of atropine is found in the leaves and stems of tomato plants, next is the unripe (green) tomatoes and then the ripe tomato.”
