LOLAFOLATA Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi, My vet has told me that if my dogs are eating grass it's because their tummies are upset. I planted clumps of pet grass in their yard for them after reading that it's a herbal remedy pets enjoy to chew on from time to time. My 3 stand and pick at it constantly throughout the day. My older girl has had ongoing tummy issues but our new puppy now copies her and stands and picks at it too. They rarely vomit it up but it's occasionally undigested in the poos. Wondering whether I should remove it or not Anyone else have chronic grass eaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah, my dad always jokes that I want a horse so badly my dogs have learned to graze...I've never been worried by it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisey Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Mine both do it a fair bit - they don't seem to vomit after - I think they just enjoy it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 My oldest has been a constant grass eater his entire life, he just likes the taste and is picky about what grass he eats......he also eats flower buds when they are just closing for the night. He is a strange boy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumabaar Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 My dogs have a "Im feeling sick and HAVE to eat grass right now" dance. They eat it quite urgently. But 90% of the time they go out they will have a bit of a graze, generally being very picky about who gets the best tips. Very cute!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Mine eat it all the time too no vomiting,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Tilba will eat & eat & eat grass quite frantically when I think she's feeling sick. The 1st time she did it as a pup she ate for over an hour & then brought up the hole she'd eaten out of an old pillow case I had in her bed. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bark Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 My dog has eaten grass since he was a young pup with stomach problems and he'll still eat it now and then if he's had something that doesn't agree with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadbury Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 :laugh: I suppose they can't really put their paw down their throat to make themselves vomit - so grass must do the trick. My Cavaliers always ate grass and then did a little chuck. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melzawelza Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yeah, when they eat it because they feel yucky it's like they've got a sense of urgency to it... Like they're trying to eat as much as they can in as short a time as possible. (A few weeks ago my girl ate a heap of poo at the park and was doing this constantly). But when they just graze at it or have a normal munch I think they just enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9angel Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Mine love to eat grass too. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laneka Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 We call our Rotts Aberdeen Angus. They graze a lot, just for the enjoyment I think because they definately are not sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I have 2 'grazers' as well. Neither of mine are sick. They eat grass on a daily basis. I will even pick it & they will eat it out of my hand but it has to be this certain type, not just any old grass will do. LOL Only the nice new, young stuff :laugh: Edited February 25, 2012 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
