I was listening to an "Ask the Vet" radio program, and the vet said that a splash of tomato juice in with the dog's food was good for the dog and would help prevent the yellow spots on the lawn. LSA

Mmm...tomato juice...

Wonder if that really works? I wouldn't mind having some tomato juice around in any case...maybe I'll experiment. ;-)

I wonder if just letting them have tomatoes would do the same. I'm going to have a TON of cherry tomatoes here in short order, I'm afraid.

My bad and that vet must have needed business. I just googled up "dog health +tomato juice" and there were several cautionary articles about altering a dog's pH output and possibly causing bladder infections, stones, etc. A more enviromentally friendly approach was to water the area and then sprinkle about a tablespoon of sugar over the area to feed the soil microbes.
