Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Hello All, Need help I have a mixed breed-----Pit Bull & Lab. He is always eating grass. Will he get sick, or is it o.k.?????????? :roll: Quote
Sanvean Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 I think it is fine. My Macy eats grass all the time and doesn't seem to suffer any ill effects. Just be careful what you put on your lawn. Quote
Lucky Chaos Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Every morning when I let the dogs in the yard they immediately go to find the long grass to graze on. its like letting the horses out each morning. To answer you question, just like Sanvean i'm sure she's fine, just don't let her eat any grass that might have pestisides on it. Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 He/She should be fine. :) Dogs will usually eat grass if thier stomach is upset, or they feel the need to do some grazing! :lol: Rowie does eat the odd glass blade here or there... :o :lol: Quote
marion Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 My two eat grass all the time and it doesn't seem to do them any harm. They also love wood, which I do discourage. Quote
Rosebud Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 :lol: marion napisał(a):My two eat grass all the time and it doesn't seem to do them any harm. They also love wood, which I do discourage. Rocket thinks wood is a bone. The main reason I discourage wood is to keep him from wanting some when he's alone inside, ie my coffee table. The second reason is that it can be just as dangerous as bone splinters. Grass isn't going to hurt a dog unless it has harmful pesticides on it. :angel: Quote
marion Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Ha Ha, Rosebud, Rosie ate most of the wood in our house for the first three years, she still occasionally chews on her basket (repaired again). :o I bought a new dining room suite at christmas, leather and solid wood, I prayed that she wouldn't take a fancy to it. I'd had my old one for 16 years and the legs of the chairs were practically gone and the table wasn't far off. She's chewed skirting boards, spindles on my staircase and anything else wooden she could get her teeth in to. Thankfully, she's left the new one alone. Quote
Rosebud Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 :lol: :lol: :lol: I feel lucky, the only thing that has been eaten by puppies in my house is the window-sills and lots and lots of newspapers. :angel: Quote
imported_Cassie Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Grass is actually very good for your dog, it has alot of essential fatty acids in it...my dogs come spring go out "grazing" in the winter time I grow grass for them inside the house (wheat grass, no illegal stuff! :lol: ) As metioned by every one else, the only thing to be concerned about would be pesticides.

ellieangel Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Yep my 2 chomp away on it and they're fine !! Quote
marion Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 I hope you don't mean the illegal grass Ellie. :wink: Never thought of that, I'll have to watch my two when I take them my friends, :o you never know. :wink: Quote
ellieangel Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 It's the MS sufferers you have to watch Marion. :lol: Don't take offense anyone I have 2 friends who suffer with it and I know their secret pick me up :wink: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 The friend who had heart trouble, his wife has MS and she won't try it, my mum has though. Only once and I told her off, she was 81 at the time. :o Quote

courtnek Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 I am a diabetic, and on medication to prevent glaucoma.... just to see his reaction, when the Dr. told me that I asked him if I could smoke pot - I thought he was gonna lose it right then and there!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
Bronxie Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 I buy special grass from the nearby farmers market. It's for cats but Elle likes to share it with our cat Shadow. It's supposed to help with their digestion. (That's what I've heard) :drinking: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 WOW Thank You all, I am new here and have to say WOW :n00b: !!!!!!!!!! It is good to have a place to come to when my baby((DOG)) LOL needs help. Again THANK YOU ALL Quote
rufus Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 I'm new here too and want to say 'thanks', my puppy keeps eating grass and I've been trying to stop him as I wasn't sure if it would harm him - what about the heads off daisies ??? Quote
rufus Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 That's a relief - you could tell he was getting really fed up with me saying 'no' and prising his mouth open to invesitgate every 2 minutes :lol: Quote
imported_Debbie Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 :o My 2 Jacks eat grass and then throw up..... Whats the deal there ??? If it's good for them why are they doing it to make themselves throw-up ?? :( We use NO pesticides on our lawn , None whatsoever. Quote
bk_blue Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Debbie, I have seen our dogs and "our" cats eat grass and then throw it up. Like Rowie said sometimes they eat it if they are feeling sick... maybe it is the animal equivalent of sticking your finger down your throat (ie. you know you have to vomit, so you may as well hurry it up instead of feeling like you want to die for the next hour). Ahhh here we go (I found a link for you): http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/home/pets/5318589.htm I hope that helps, if you need more infor do what I did and type "dogs eating grass sick" into Google. :) Quote
Daisysmom Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Chelsea does that!! Especially lately. One day, she threw up about 5 times, and most of it was grass :o Quote
