    Is eating grass okay?

    I know there will be a few opinions on the topic.  Boomer occasionally eats grass.  He has never thrown up from it.  Is it okay for him to eat it?  He doesn't eat huge quantities of it just a few grass blades here and there.

    Every dog I've had has nibbled on grass at times.  I don't think there's anything wrong with it but I'd keep him away from any that has been recently fertilized or had pesticides put on it.  In my case, short of tearing out all the lawn in my backyard, I couldn't stop them anyway.  It's the first place they head for and start munching.

    I think it has something to do with tummy upsets. My dog eats grass if she has gobbled her food too much, or eaten the kittys food (blast!) or the fish food (double blast!) . Nothing to worry about :)

    Yup they eat it to settle their tummy. Sometimes they'll eat a lot to make themselves up heave to get rid of something icky inside, no prob just a self serving dog, haha!

    My dogs eat it just because. They don't only eat it for upset tummies, usually just for a snack.

    Marley snacks on it too...
    I thought about planting some Barley Grass in my garden for him...at least that would have some nutritional value![:)]
