    My dogs (especially the boys) are grazers. I have no idea why, but they definitely aren't sick. I can even pick long blades of grass and use them as treats for Jack, he just loves it that much. My dogs have also only thrown up the grass they ate on RARE occasions. Are you sure the grass was making her sick?

    My fur kids are the same. Sometimes I think they are goats in a dogs body. They dont throw up and they eat a lot of grass.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    I can't believe a reputable vet would say or believe that!!!

    Anyway it is 100% fine so long as the grass is not treated with chemicals. Then that can make your puppers sick

    Mine are both grazers too and they very very rarely throw up. They both also eat and love salad (including balsamic vinegar). We think they think of grass as "salad on the hoof."

    (PS if you feed your dogs salad you should take out any onions first - garlic is OK)

    Add my Bob to the grazer list. First thing he does when he's let out is to find some grass to chew.
