    With both of the dogs that I have had it seems to me that they seem to eat grass more during the change of seasons (spring/summer and then again fall/winter). I have always wondered if it was some sort of throw-back to living in the wild and the changes their bodies made when living out in the elements. Peaches almost never got threw up after eating grass, Ginger does a little more than half of the time.

    My dogs rarely ever eat grass, and if they do, they never throw up because of it.

    My dogs are year round grazers and never throw it back up. They just love eating grass.

    Fozzie just likes chewing on grass, and Gonzo never does. I can't remember the last time Gonzo threw up & Fozzie has never thrown up since we've had him... so I can't answer that.

    Eating grass when a dog needs to puke is a complete myth, lol.

    If it were true, my dogs would have some sort of serious disease!

    My dogs eat grass constantly, especially the boys. They really like it right after a good rain! They RARELY get sick over it though!
