| Lola eats grass! Is my lovely little yorkie slowly turning into a cow, or is this a common thing.....she grazes the garden chomping away at the grass, i try to stop her but then thats a GREAT game to her! Does anyone think this is harmfull? I know cat eat grass to help with hair balls-but dogs? She is never sick after either.

| Yes, it is normal or I should say that many dogs eat grass. The opinions as to why are varied among professionals but I've definitely heard it said that when dogs have an upset tummy they eat the grass and often it makes the dog throw up. I've had it happen many times with my guys, they go out, eat the grass and then a short time later they are yaking it up? I don't think there is any harm as long as no chemicals are on the grass.

| All the dogs I've ever owned have eaten grass. Especially when they are puppies. Buddah does every time we go out. I just let him do it. It hasnt hurt him so far. Besides if I try to get him to stop he just does it more. |
