Why this recommendation?
Risk depends on plant part and ripeness; lower risk from ripe flesh does not approve the entire plant.
What to prepare or check
Only ripe flesh without plant material is under discussion; individual suitability still needs checking.
When not to offer it
Consult a veterinarian for unripe-fruit or plant exposure. Ketchup and sauce are mixed products.

An “avoid” recommendation does not mean every accidental bite is poisoning. Ingredients, amount, time and the animal matter.
- Stop further access and keep the food or packaging.
- Record the species, product, estimated amount and time; say when an amount is unknown.
- For a known hazardous ingredient, or unusual weakness, tremors or breathing, contact a veterinarian promptly. Do not wait for symptoms after a known toxic exposure.
Do not induce vomiting or give human medicines on your own.
