why on earth are they putting dried tomatoes in dog food >:D >:D
jeez…bloody cheap bulker … prob from abroad so prob loaded with weedkiller… :crazy:
tomatoes contain tomatine….even ripe ones…drying tomatoes natually increases the tomatine present….tomatine can be a serious irritatant (it is also toxic in large quanties hence why tomato plants are poisonous…even cows cant tolerate it )…certainly if she sensitve to it…it will be irritating the sensitive tissue around the anus…they also add msm…an strong antioxidant…but also this acts as a ‘helper’ to absorb other ingredients…my nephew id allergic to tomatine…he comes out in hives on soft tissue…mouth bum privates etc and itches like hell….
my advice…take her off it…stop leaving food down…stick to nature diet and olive oil with some extra green veg added…bet she improves
