I
REALLY need some suggestions... My furbabies are house trained to use a doggie door during the day and a washable potty pad at night - Which remains untouched most nights. The problem that I am having is that one of my furry butts is
OBSESSED with eating grass. So much so that I have spent a small fortune at the Veterinarian within the last two months trying to regulate her digestion tract and solidify her potty output(s). She has eaten so much at one point that she spent and entire day at the Veterinarian's office throwing up nothing but blood, stomach bile and grass. I am at wits end...I feed them all a fairly descent graded dog food, Dick Van Patten's Ultra Premium Dry Dog Food Small Bites with a spritz of salmon oil and Dick Van Patten's Turkey Formal Dog Food Rolls as a snack/treats. They also get a quarter tablet of Pet Tab vitamin mixed with cottage cheese every other day. I also make certain that the grass is cut extremely low to allow for their short legs to easily breeze around my back yard for both play and potty. And, I don't put down any type of weed deterrents or fertilizer either.
My question is does any one have any ideas, preferably holistic that won't harm my furbabies or kill off the grass entirely, on what I can do to deter this life threatening habit? I've already tried to force her to be a totally inside furbaby, but when she sees her Siblings bouncing around outside, she cried and howls. And, she won't put out any thing during walking on a leash. Also, in trying to keep them all as inside furbabies, during the day they hold their output(s) and sit by the doggie door for hours.
ALL suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
