Red: Rover, I added bright red cherry tomatoes, along with green peas, to your kibble! I think it makes your dog food more festive for the holidays. It's kinda like having little edible Christmas ornaments in your chow.
Our dog seldom gets table scraps but when she does she loves green beans, rice, chicken, fish . . . and anything that falls on the floor when I’m cooking. We don’t let her have onions, though.
Our dogs ate vegetables first because we were also feeding them to the guinea pigs – I guess they figured they didn’t want to be left out. Then my mom started tossing the ends of carrots and tomatoes into the air and they just caught them and probably swallowed without tasting. It got to the point that they would eat anything we tossed them – even medicine! (but no onions or garlic or grapes)
One of our guys loved vegetables: peas, carrots, green beans, but he drew the line at cherry tomatoes. He would pick them up, but not even puncture them before spitting them out.I think it had something to do with the way they felt: soft beneath a tense skin – a little like children’s fingers.
my mom’s Basset hated peas too. When she’d get dinner, she’d eat quietly, and after, Mom would find a nice ring of peas that “Mandy” spit out. She could do that with her pills too!
My dog was once in an eating contest sponsored by a dog food company. He finished way ahead of all the others, but was disqualified for not eating it all. Surrounding the cleaned bowl was a ring of carrots. I protested, “He’s a dog, not a rabbit”, but to no avail.

If you tell our dog “That’s good for you!” he spits it out. Started with carrots.

Our sheltie would wolf down peas. Don’t recall trying tomatoes on him but I bet he would have gobbled them down too.

One of our Boston Terriers would not eat a pea. Put it in a bowl with good stuff and it was still there when he finished, and he ate FAST.

From a reality point of view, tomatoes are deadly to dogs. But the cartoon is funny.
