YES. Dogs eat dirt! Let there be one tiny spot of dirt showing and they start digging. Many times it is because they are looking for worms. I had a little girl years ago who loved to go look for worms in the dirt around my banana trees. I had to put a fence up to stop her. I honestly think it bothers us more than it does them.....around this time of year it seems to be worse. I have 3 dirt eaters right now and they are perfectly healthy.
They can get sick from things in the soil.....so, I do discourage it. I usually cover any areas where they start digging. BUT, I have never had one get ill from eating dirt.
