Hey there! It's great that you're looking out for your furry friend. Cherry tomatoes can be a safe and tasty treat for dogs in moderation, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind.
Firstly, make sure to wash the tomatoes well to remove any possible pesticides or chemicals. Always offer them ripe because unripe tomatoes and the tomato plant's green parts contain a compound called solanine, which can be toxic in large quantities.
When giving cherry tomatoes to your dog, start with just one or two to see if they like them and how their stomach handles it. While tomatoes aren't high on the toxicity scale like chocolate or grapes, every dog is different. You’d want to be aware of any signs of an upset stomach, like:
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to stop giving them tomatoes and monitor your pup. If symptoms are mild and your dog seems otherwise fine, they can usually wait it out with some extra water and rest.
However, if the symptoms are severe or you see any signs of distress or difficulty breathing, this could be an emergency, and you should contact your vet immediately.
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
