don`t worry about this a lot of dogs eat grass to aid their digestion when they are feeling a bit sick. My collie Bubbles eats grass all the time even when she is fine. I make sure that I don`t let her go near anywhere that has been sprayed by the council but apart from that I allow her as it will do her no harm

My Rosie does it obssessively too - every time I catch her I tell her off as, with any food, she will eat until she is sick if I allow it

My others do it too but as they can't digest it it always comes back up so I'm afraid they're not allowed to eat it - every time I see them doing it I tell them off but they WILL go back to it straight away so it's a constant battle of wills - mine is ALWAYS stronger you'll be shocked to read!

my dog eats grass to be pat and mick for whatever reason. I dont know if its better or worse than the amount of rabbit and sheep poo he ate today

[Gaelle]

Both my dogs have always eaten grass with no ill effects but I find if they have been feeling a bit off colour they will more of it and that seems to make them sick.

I have a bunch of coos here too I used to think it was just the lurchers and running dogs but after speaking to folk realised some dogs just do it
Luka has started it now too, think he just copies the other lot tho

Mylo eats grass all the time to

Most dogs will do it to make themselves sick......I'm convinced my Rosie does it simply because she's a greedy mare

Otto eats it if he has a dicky tummy ie eats grass but not that keen on his breakfast. Doesnt' do it for long tho.

Tilly eats grass when she is feeling under the weather, does her no harm so I don't really discourage it (unless we are on a walk and it's raining heavily)
