CarefulCooked, a little, if your pet has no kidney issues.
A nightshade; the raw plant and leaves are more of a problem than the cooked fruit. Some dogs react to it.
What to watch for
Itching, vomiting, rarely.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
