dog eating grass

[mirela]

my boxer dog 10 months is eating grass all the time after execise. she doent eat grass normally, but each time after intensive fetch play, she started eating grass and on the way back home, does wee twice and poo twice, her poo are normally bit liquid. i just wonder if it is normal? seems she got it in rountine now, each time i took her out for exercise, she does this, but if just normally calmly walk, she doesnt like that. during the day, she seems all normally too.

My boxers all did the same thing, it's a natural "purgative" for them, gets the bowels going I think. Don't worry.

ahh, thanks max
the embarrassing thing is i just used the only poo bag,the she did again in public lol i need take more next time.

dog poo should be quite firm and not runny. What do you feed her?

I've got 2 staffies and one never eats grass unless when she's feeling unwell. The other has to have a mouthful of grass every time he's done a little sprint. They usually play together when out on walks and if the girl chases him, he has to stop for a bite of grass.
He's healthy but has always done this and never does it unless he's been running

my mum has always said they eat grass when they've got tummy ache.
I mentioned this to the vet as my bichon is always eating it and she said it was an old wives'' tale.
Do you know why they eat it ?
They like the taste!

Ignore the above user. They have joined the site just to post abuse.

hi happyface, yeah, my dog never does it unless after running, and normally her poo a bit liquid after, but the rest of day, her poo is firm and normal.

[crisgal]

EXcuse me????!!!!
Ignore me -why? What have I done?
I am only telling you what a vet had told me. It struck me as amusing.
I have NEVER posted abuse to anyone on here.
How bloody dare you!

[mirela]

crisgal - Someone had posted that the dog should be shot. The ED had removed that post but left mine for some reason. I was referring to them, not you.

[crisgal]

get some duct tape and tape its mouth up when you take it for walkies

[mirela]

you probably should tape your own month.

And now Smack.Head's post will be removed, leaving it as though you were telling crisgal to tape her mouth up :-)
