I didn't know that.
Betty, the only aspects of canine health that I study/research are atopy and nutrition. It's natural under those circumstances for me to have run into these odd little factoids.
You know the whole shebang, from surgery to antibiotics and everything else. How could you (or anyone) ever absorb that level of detail from every single branch of the practice? Not only that, but you are not limited to dogs!

So are the tomatoes (fruit) themselves poisonous? Sorry I know you tried to answer it before, but I'm not understanding it. I have heard they are poisonous to cats... but I can't remember where I heard it from. That and the ASPCA website isn't working for me right now
There is less and less tomatine present as you go from plant to blossom to green fruit to ripe fruit. A dog would have to eat a LOT of ripe tomatoes to be affected by the tomatine in them.
OTOH, there is evidence (not completely confirmed, as far as I know) that dogs can have the same exacerbation of OA pain from the deadly nightshade family that humans can.
Thanks, that makes sense. As the owner of a dog who has grazed on ripe (and less than ripe) tomato fruit I knew they couldn't be too potent. But I've always heard that you NEVER feed the green waste parts of either tomato or potato plants to animals.

Yes but pomace is the leftovers from juicing ripe fruit. Green tomatoes if you've never tried them taste like cardboard so I have serious doubt about any problems from green pomace making it through the process.
Personally I think there is greater risk of green spuds making it through the premade raw mixes than tomatoes.
