My dogs were put on Innova dog food a couple of weeks ago. The love it but I notice that they are always franticly eating grass all the time. It looks like I have a herd of dogs out side. Anybody else have this problem?

My dogs have always eaten grass no matter what diet their own. It's healthy and a way of cleansing the system. It could be that your dogs (I don't know what they were on prior to Innova) may be detoxing and are using grass as a way to help "flush" the system:)

As long as there are no pesticides or other chemicals used on the grass it's quite safe. You may also want to grow your own grass...oh:eek: that doesn't sound right does it. Barley grass is an easy one to grow for dogs to nibble on.

Spring time is also a big grass eating time with all the new tender shoots coming up. My dogs have specific grasses they seek out and eat. They never throw up due to eating it, so for them it's enjoyable and provides a healthy array of nutrients including omega 3's:)

Mine plus my " visitors " have always enjoyed grazing here . Since I don't spray, I don't worry !!! They even enjoy the chives and garlic greens.

LOL! The Filas are definitely grazers, lol. Even Bimmer likes to graze, and if he sees a particularly tasty looking clump he's been known to growl at any approaching cows to tell them to back off :D
