| Grass Eating Does anyone have information about what is excessive when a dog eats grass? I know they normally eat grass when they have digestive problems; however, Lily has been eating a little every day. I do not give her people food. Other than her eating the grass, her behavior and bowel movements are fine. Any advice or information??

| My dog does the same thing. She never vomits or has any bowel issues. I think she learned it from my cat . Although, my cat never has any stomach issues. I think she's just bored or likes the taste of grass ... she's even picky with the type of grass she eats! I don't think it's anything to worry about if she's acting normal.

| They have done studies and don't think it has anything to do with digestive problems. They think they eat it just because they like the taste of it. |

| eating grass Our 17 week-old Douglas eats grass too, every time he goes outside. And he's picky. We have bermuda and St. Augustine and he likes the bermuda. His stools are normal pretty much like clockwork. And he seems happy. Guess he just likes the taste of grass. |
