One of the recommendations the puppy nanny, at the daycare that we send Gizmo to sometimes, told us that if he's having alot of trouble chewing his food, then pour some warmed 100% tomato juice on his food and let it soak (especially since Gizmo hates warmed water on his food).

I tried it one night and he had alot more ease chewing his food. However, I've been doing my research, and I found that some studies think tomatoes can't be posionous but only if the vine or stem are consmed.

Since he's only getting the juice, I figured that I'd be okay and he's only getting enough to moisten the food. Also, I know some foods do have some tomato in them.

Any opinions?
