I know that I posted on this months ago, but I can't find the old thread. Seriously, these 2 dogs DO NOT STOP EATING GRASS! Before it was just nibbling on it, but now it's like they pull the grass up from the root and eat that too! They go out to basically just to eat grass. They'll run around and play for a few minutes, but then back to eating it. AHHHHHHHHHH I'm so frustrated with this! I've tried spraying bitter apple on the spots that they're messing with, but they just move to a new spot. I can't bitter apple the entire damn yard! It's so bad that we now have patches of just missing grass all over. I don't know if it's a combination of them eating it or the cooler weather, but seriously we need to go buy patches to put. There's dirt everywhere!

This behavior can't be normal and it can't be good for them either!! Kody's up for his rabies shot (has an appointment on the 14th) so I'm going to ask the vet about it, but does anybody know why they would be so obsessed with it? They eat so it can't be that they're hungry either!!

:

Upset stomach perhaps? Although it sounds like it would have to be a chronic upset stomach....

Maybe they just like the way it tastes? Maybe take the sandbox approach, plant them grass in a planter that they are free to munch on and save your yard!

Adobo grazes like a cow in the summer and I've never seen her have any problems with it.

Mylo use to graze heavy in the spring time when the lawn was newly green again and then occasionally upchuck it later.

The only time I'd worry about it is if your have companies like Chemlawn, etc. that spray the yards and turn the lawn into a toxic dump.

Kale does it too Although he has gotten better about it. He's never had any problems from it, it was just annoying as hell lol It seemed like he got better when I stopped chasing him away and stopped making a big deal about it; it wasn't a game of "piss off mom time" anymore lol

Josie does it too. Eats it for a nice snack all the time. If she aint eating grass she'll eat dirt out my moms wiskey barrels she grows chives, and other plants like that in. Or she'll dig holes for acorns :/

Ive never seen Neo eat grass, but Jackson grazes like a horse.

Grass, dirt, plants, tree bark - people must think i starve my guy the way he goes about eating EVERYTHING he comes across on walks!!! SO ANNOYING! We'll be happily walking down the path and he will bolt to the left to pick up some soggy tissue - i've had to take some pretty disgusting things out of his mouth lately and its been far from pleasant!!! (You wonder why some of these things are on the floor in the first place).

Anubis eats grass too, but only in Spring and Summer.
Dogs eat gras to clean their stomachs but I´m sure that some dogs like it too.

Anubis is a little problem child when it comes to picking up bullshit too, I´m dealingn with this for two years now since he got spayed and I don´t know what to do that he will ever stop this. I even could beat the livi9ng shit out of him and he would still do it.

I know that dogs normally eat grass to clean their tummies when they're not feeling well, but they're not having any tummy issues at all. I check their poop every time and it's fine. No vomiting either. Kody even poops out pieces of grass root! Ugh! Good to know that it won't harm them and they're not the only ones that do it, but it's ridiculous! I'm going to take a video one of these days so you can see what I mean. Oh, and no we don't have any sort of chemicals put on the yard so we're good on that end.

They eat EVERYTHING on walks also and it's so ANNOYING!! At least during walks I can pull them along most of the time. Except for the time that they got into a fight over a piece of bread that I didn't see

Atka eats grass for fun. When he had a bad belly he was taking huge bites of sand from my moms back yard and vomiting that up and shitting his pants. But no, grass is purely for pleasure. I call him my weed eater. :p He's currently grazing my living room for bits of rope Storm tore off the rope toy...

My two are obsessed with plants. They eat my plants in my house, outside, and even leaves off of trees. I have to hide my plants when I leave because they eat all of the leaves lol.

Reiko will occasionally pick up a soggy tissue or other randoms on the ground. Then it's a fight and a half to get it back from him, because he guards it with his life! lol He once picked up a dead squirrel.. that was fun..

I have been feeding Faolan on the porch because its the only way he will leave my other dog alone to eat. I can't put him in a different room in the apartment because he gets bored after scarfing his food and paws at the door. On the porch he can people-watch which he enjoys. But we had a potted rose bush on the porch and he ate the entire damn thing! (Oh, and it was over the course of a few months - each time he went out there he'd nibble off a bit of leaf or branch until one day, it was all gone.)

The only thing that pisss me off ist the fear that he could pick up something poisoned some day.

sadie pulls the grass out of the ground roots and all. Never actually eats it, just pulls it up and spits it out. Same for much other stuff, tree bark and limbs. chews it up and spits it out. I kinda feel a little better now knowing most other huskies munch it too!! People laugh at her at the dog park. She looks like a black and white lawn mower!

Oh the stupid chicken bones!!! I need like some super tunnel vision to spot them! Not only do they both eat them, but I need to make sure that they don't go for the same one at the same time! That's not pretty!
