Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Don't let them eat grass ~ It's cats that will eat grass when they don't feel good & susposedly it helps settle their stomachs - dogs will get sick if they eat grass - |

| I disagree, I have researched this and dogs can eat grass to help them with digestion. Many dogs eat grass all the time. It doesn't mean that they are sick, it helps aid in their digestion. If you are truly worried, take your dogs to the vet along with samples of your dogs' food. Your vet will assure you that either there is nothing wrong, or he or she will help you to make the necessary |

| I have no idea if it really does help settles a dog's stomach but I wouldn't let them. If they like it so much, how about giving them lettuce?

| Eating Grass My schnauzers eat grass just before a storm comes in or rain. My yorkies eat also. I think its a weather thing. Sure enough the other day I heard Sarah's stomach making noise she will be that way for a day and the next day it rains.(ha) If Oscar eats it means we are in for a gully washer. Cheryl |

| Have heard this a lot and I believe it is actually quite common. Some people say that they eat grass whenever they are not feeling well. Grass can make them to vomit and then they can feel better. Anyway, better to stop them from eating grass. We have a golden retriever and he never ate grass till now. |
