    Hey all sorry ive not been around so much I have had a lot going on!

    Anyway when rolo was ill those weeks back he would eat grass and th
    row it up when given the chance.

    This week has had continued to do this? No food vommit or any other ill health signs but as soon as hes let out hes has a nibble of grass if able then throws it up when he comes back in. Ive resorted to putting him on lead foe now but any ideas why he is repeatinf this?

    Rory often does it in a frenzied way when his tummy hurts. I can tell that his tummies off when he does this. My other dogs have eaten grass just because they like it with no problems.

    Stanley eats grass but he's never been sick after.

    Maybe his tummy still feels a bit funny?

    Dexter loves a good graze....he likes the long fresh green strips we get here or he will have a crop at the new growth round the edges of our lawn...it seems to be just because he likes it,there are never any indications his tummy is off and he is never sick with it.Just to add ,it seems to pass through mostly undigested too....

    Xena's part cow, I swear she is. She loves a munch. She's never spewed after it, and like Dexter it doesn't seem linked to feeling sick. Her grass eating is a relatively recent thing from what I can tell.

    Plum loves a good old munch, has done since very young. Sometimes she's had an upset tummy after but mostly not.

    Tilly and Cooper both eat grass sometimes, and it normally does not mean they are sick or upset.

    Bailey also eats grass, pretty much on a daily basis and so far its not indicated any sickness or upset stomach.

    Duggan eats a couple berries then moves on to an apple, after that it's a little bark before his salad. ( grass ) he usually finishes with a bug or too from the driveway. Lol. It's been snow covered since we changed his food so I'm curious to see whst he gets into when the snows gone.
