Why do dogs eat grass?

wrote: Why do dogs eat grass? It's a habit that some breeds picked up from guarding sheep. They then passed it on to their other kin. Cites? I'd really like to believe you, but I don't. Oppie was my biggest grass eater (and grazer of other vegetation). I don't think Labrador Retrievers have much of a breed history of herding sheep... The Great Meeting at which the Herders announced the Grass Eating Protocol to the rest of Dogdom ended "in confusion" with the result that records of the event have been lost. Some details are provided here however: http://www.csufresno.edu/folklore/dr...ting-notes.htm -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com
