Mazz Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Since Zoya has been on antibiotics for the better part of a week due to her injury that's still healing, she has taken to grazing in the back yard. She has always nibbled on grass, especially in the spring of the year. However, this past week I'm beginning to think she may soon be going MOO-MOO instead of WOO-WOO! I just came in from the back yard with her, and she spent several minutes pulling grass, chomping as she looked around, then pulling more grass. (We don't use fertilizers or weed killers in the back yard, for this very reason.) We walked around the back yard and every few minutes, Zoya stopped and started pulling some grass again. I spoke with her vet about this subject just prior to her injury. He said studies have been done on why dogs eat grass, with little or no absolute conclusion. Some people think that dogs eat grass when their stomach is upset. Maybe because some dogs cannot tolerate grass and vomit soon after eating grass. Other dogs, like Zoya, eat grass with no apparent issues. Some dogs may simply like the taste of grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Dave my two are also grazers We don't use fertilizers either, so we put a layer of top soil down a few weeks ago and they love the new shoots coming up all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Bless her , mine dont really get to eat grass cuz we have our garden fenced off so on walks they try n grab as much grass as they can - this might be the best training tool EVER lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Most of mine like to graze, too. Rebel goes nuts when I bring leftover salad, veggies or fruits out to the kennel - he absolutely LOVES anything like that! Several others also enjoy it when I give them things like that. Sometimes they do eat grass to vomit, though - the antibiotics may be upsetting her stomach? You could try giving her some yogurt to help her gut's balance...
