Hello, I live in Evansville Indiana and love to grow tomatos. I have learned the hard way that the green one are very toxic to dogs (consult your vet for how it effects them chemically). But let me warn you, every body function starts "running" eyes, nose mouth, blatter, bowls. Take them to the vet immediately. They are a mess!

You may want to add Grapes to that list. Don't grow them in the yard because your dogs will inevitably eat the sweet fruit and it is toxic to them as well as bad for their kidneys.
