Dog eating grass

[SweetPuppy]

I caught my dog eating grass at the backyard! Is it okay? or should I stop him?

As long as there is no poison on the grass it wont hurt him. They often eat grass to settle their stomach.

My dogs often grass too. My father always told me it helps their stomach. We were fostering a 10 month old puppy and she eats grass too! ( We decided to adopt her today!!) Just make sure you didn't use pesticides or weed killer.

George eats graaa quite often especially if he has eaten something different than his normal kibble. I don't mind him doing it at home because I know my grass is natural and pesticide free, but I don't let him eat it when we're out walking.

Betty Boop has always eaten grass and weeds. Thank goodness, the weeds are almost under control. We had to take her into the vet once because her poop had slime mixed in with it and the only thing we could determine it might be were the weeds she was eating. Each year my hubby puts Scott's Weed & Feed on our lawn. However, this year I talked him into going organic. The smell was very overpowering for about 2 days and then it settled in. The organic nursery said it is safe for dogs.
