Dogs eat worms! I have one that will dig for them! I never knew this was common until I saw someone post about it on a yahoo list and then everyone was talking about their dogs tearing up their lawns digging for worms. I did put a fence up around my banana trees because it was a constant battle to keep Adina out of there...must be fertile soil for earthworms.
Anyway....the only concern that I found is the soil could hold bacteria. So...I did stop her from it.
As for why....I never found the reason. Just like they guess about why dogs eat grass, why they eat worms is just a guess. |
