Torque denies his naughtiness, despite being caught with the evidence.
Does your dog eat grass?
Ours do. While we enjoy the warmer temperatures, the green yard (instead of the snow-white!), it’s also the time of year where every time we go outside with the dogs we have to say “leave it!” “Stop that!” and, in Teddy’s case, “Why do you eat grass? You know it makes you throw up!”
We understand that many veterinarians think eating grass is just something dogs do – and it’s not really something to worry about, unless, like Teddy, it makes your dog sick. (See this reassuring article on WebMD.)
One thing we do worry about, though, is what’s on the grass. We use no chemicals at all in our yard – not weed-killer, or insecticide, or grub-stuff. Nothing. It means we don’t necessarily have the prettiest lawn in the world, but it is safe for our dogs. Whenever our dogs are elsewhere, we have them on leash and can control their “grazing” tendencies.
If you take your dogs to off-leash parks or play areas, it may be a good idea to ask what kind of grass preparation and maintenance is used. Just in case they’re grazers, like ours.
