    I added tomato juice to my German Shepard dry dog food like a gravy. That stopped the browning burn marks on lawn

      You should check with your vet on this … I’ve heard it’s not in the dog’s best interest to change the Ph of their system.

    Tomatoes aren't supposed to be good for dogs, is the juice okay to give them?

    • Robyn Robyn on Aug 25, 2024

      Ask your vet, I’ve heard it’s not a good idea.
