    Dog eating dandelions and wishy's

    Hi:
     My dog keeps eating the yellow dandelions and the white little wishy weeds. Could he be lacking something?  He's not getting sick on them and just keeps eating the tops. Any help would be appreciated.

    dandelion is one of natures miracle power house foods.  you can eat them too.  they have every mineral and vitamins a body needs and more.  Just make sure they have not been sprayed with weed killer.
     
    you can make a greeen smoothie with some spinach, green dandelion leaves and orange juice.  delicious and gives you tons of energy.

    Ruby sometimes eats dandelions, too.  That is, if she actually slows down enough to notice them!  I asked the vet last week, he said no problem. BTW, my husband is constantly bugging me to make this old German recipe called Finecut and Endive and when we can't get endive, we use dandelion greens.  It's his very favorite dish so I try to oblige.  Very tasty, though!

    Dogs are opportunists! It's amazing sometimes what they deem fit to eat.
     
    Last year, Aiden got a hold of me eating a couple blackberries right off the bush in front of my barn...and promptly started picking them off and eating them himself! It was pretty cute, actually. But I did limit him to just a few berries at a time, because I wasn't sure how well they'd come out the other end... [sm=uhoh.gif]
