Why it matters

VCA specifically lists green tomatoes among produce to avoid. Plant parts create additional risk and are not a useful treat.

How to serve it

The conservative choice is to skip tomato. If you want to offer ripe red flesh, ask your vet first and never include plant parts or seasoning.
