Grass eating Vote for this post

Yesterday we caught Bailey eating grass, later that night he threw up, is there any way to get him to stop eating the grass.

Both Sambuca and Isabella do this and then proceed to vomit. I let them, I read they do this when they have an upset tummy. After they vomit, they are fine. I don't put stuff on my lawn, so I'm not worried about that part of it.

I also read that dogs eat grass to help their digestion. Heidi occasionally eats grass and it doesn't always make her sick. Our little poodle/terrier used to love to eat grass and it never made him vomit. We used to call him our little lamb because he would literally sniff out a tall spot of nice fresh new grass and just chomp away!

Both D & D eat grass. Like an after dinner snack! Sometimes they have thrown up, but it comes out the normal way too!

Vet told me not to worry - it was like us eating salad. Ughh

I occasionally like to eat grass, too - sometimes I urp it up, sometimes not. My mom calls it "Yard Salad"!

We like to graze too. There's one kind we like in particular that only grows in a couple of spots in the yard. We hardly ever throw it up though, we just like to eat it.

It's good for him. They eat it as medicine....that's what I'm not keen about with gravel gardens-that the Minkies haven't got their grass.
XXX.
