Eating grass

Milly keeps eating grass each time she is walked just had her out in the garden and she has been pulling the grass out,They say its a medicine for dogs for them to be sick when they have upset tummies the thing is milly hasnt been sick at any time of eating grass,Maybe she just likes the taste i havent a clue,She can be a funny dog at times

lemmy eats grass as well. strange creatures

sasha loves the grass at the mo,dont know if it tastes better this time of year,sure she thinks she's a cow!

Be warned for the old grassy bum, if you haven't had it yet you will do!

Try and discourage it, they can't digest grass and it can block them up. Mine suits her name Moo, she is forever trying to munch it

well i wish if he is gunna eat it he would do it at home and not the park save me mowing it

Tinkerbell doesn't normally eat grass she much prefers cat poo

But since she hasn't been well she is eating the grass out in the garden to make herself sick!

I think most of them do it. They can't digest it though so try to discouage it.

This a bit of a 'hobby horse' for me. Eating a bit of grass doesn't do any harm (apart from when you have to pull it out of their backsides!), but eating a lot of grass is a big no-no!

They can't digest it, and it sort of sits in the stomach & forms a heavy mass which then starts to give off gas. The gas builds up & the dog gets bloat, which in turn can be fatal. Been there, done that, although luckily it wasn't fatal!

If your dogs starts to eat a lot of grass you may need to pay a visit to the vet.

When i see her eating it i stop her.I dont want to have to pull it out of her bum for her when its stuck.Jessie my jack russell she had a thing about eating dry grass many of times we have had to pull it out of her bum not a very nice job

Paddy seems to fight it. Rips it out of the ground and then throws it around lol

This has me a bit worried! I think he eats too much for my liking, everyone tries to stop him when he's in my girlfriends garden! Any opportunity he gets he's munching away like a cow!(He's the right colour!)

He thinks it's a game now chew some grass, get chased, eat some more, chased again! His favorite side order is a big clump pulled up now with roots and soil! I'm forever wiping his mush!

kya is the same gras roots mud the whole package billy did when he was apup he ate some wild oats which lodged in his gum that went bad £400 op thank god for insurance.
