I think Jazzie is part cow or goat! Every chance she gets she will eat grass or leafs. I had to DRAG Jazzie away from the grass today! She just had to have it!
Does your kids eat them too? Why do you think they do?
I've always heard they do this because they are not feeling well but I'm not sure. When I Googled it, it said they simply like the taste, and dogs are not intelligent enough to use grass as a medicinal herb.
I don't like it especially when she eats leafs from various plants because I assume they are harmful or poisonous. She throws up sometimes with bits of plants in it.
I found out that University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is currently conducting a study of grass and plant eating behavior in dogs (and cats). I just finished completing the survey. It doesn't give you any answers, it strictly for research. They are supposed to publish the results when the study is complete.
They want responses from any dogs or cats that have eaten grass or leafs. If you want to take the survey here is the link:
