Well, my pups eat grass when they're hungry (always, they're hounds... ) or their tummies are upset. If I notice them acting like cows after a meal, I usually give them some pepsid AC.

Careful about the palms, especially. I know that the fruits/nuts of the Sago palms at least are *highly* toxic to dogs. Can't remember if any others are. You might want to do some research, and fence them off if it's appropriate. I've never managed to get mine to stop chewing on things in the yard, I've simply fenced off areas if it's appropriate and gotten a garden shed for what's portable.

 

Thanks for the advice. Fortunaly, the palms in my back yard don't produce any fruit or nuts, at least none that I've noticed. I'll keep an eye out for that to make sure that if it does start producing nuts or fruit, that he can't get anywhere near the tree's

 

Dogs are adorable. I have a pitbull that eats grass once in awhile.

 

Grass and plants provide nutrients for dogs, so eating it isn't out of the norm. Just make sure that he isn't eating anything toxic.

 

My puppy thinks plants are delicious too. I'd just keep an eye out on what he's eating to make sure it's not poisonous and you should be fine.

 

Eating grass seems to be a normal behavior for dogs even though we tend
to think that their diet should consist of other things. There is no harm your dog does this. Several studies have been done to relate this action to some sort of illness, mineral deficiency, lack of roughage in the diet etc. But as per my experience, it is harmless. Even if you try to break this grass eating habit, I dont think it will work as this is a natural behaviour.
Digging is a natural instinct that is also a favorite past time to all dogs. The more sporting that the dog’s breed is, the more that they love to dig.

 

None of my GSDs eat grass, but my Labrador does....drives me nuts >.<
