Hey there! It's great that you're being cautious about what your pup eats. A little taste of plain cooked tomato generally isn’t harmful to dogs, but it’s the other ingredients in tomato sauce that could be tricky. Many sauces contain onions, garlic, and other ingredients that can be toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Plus, the spices and salt might upset your dog's stomach.
If your dog manages to sneak a bite, keep an eye out for:
If you observe any of these symptoms and they're mild, monitor your dog closely and make sure they have plenty of water. If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours or worsen, it’s time to check in with your vet. Signs like excessive vomiting, diarrhea, or any sign of distress should be treated as more urgent.
If your dog eats a very small amount and seems completely fine, you likely don't need to do anything other than monitor them. However, anytime you're in doubt, giving your vet a call is always a smart move.
If you’re unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
