I have a friend who is chemical sensitive and she also is not supposed to eat anything in the nightshade family. Tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant are the three biggies. I have given Duchess pieces of tomato and V8 juice, which I thought would give her a lot of vitamins. I even froze some tomato juice in ice cubes for treats. Lately she is not going upstairs as fast. I thought it was time to take another look at her diet and the treats that she gets. I am embarressed to say I let her put on a bit of weight because I love her with food. After all she doesn't want me to hug her and doesn't play wrestle. What am I to do?
I added the pumpkin to her daily feedings and cut the treats to tiny ones and veggies. Hopefully she will be more active in the cooler weather.
