grass eating .. nutrition?
my 4 year old pit bull boy LOVES to eat grass. Almost obsessessively
so. Watching him chow down like some weird sheep makes me wonder if it's not just the taste he's after, but some nutritional component. I feed him high quality kibble (Innova/Canidae) but perhaps there's something missing I could supplement? EmilyS |

There are two lines of thinking. 1)That eating grass relieves stomach
distress and 2) That there is some nutritional missing from his diet. My dog had severe stomach discomfort before I switched to a much lower fat content food and then supplemented with vegetables such as broccoli and green beans (both of which he loves).. On occasion, now he still grazes and eats grass to throw up the substance accumulated in his stomach but he is not suffering the distress problem he previously had. Our dogs know what they need best - LENNY "EmilyS" wrote in message om... my 4 year old pit bull boy LOVES to eat grass. Almost obsessessively so.

Manu does the same thing. for him, i think it's a habit, more than anything else. it doesn't seem to hurt him, so i'm not too worried about it. -kelly |
