I have a lab and Bo-Chi. The Bo-Chi eats grass constantly when she is outside. I made a comment to my husband that if she lived outdoor in a pen it would be balled!!! I found it strange too, but apparently it must be a boston trait. My lab doesn't really eat grass, on a very rare occasion she will.

Our dogs eat grass too!
It must look and smell really good.
Our cats eat it too...and the vet says it's good for them.
I don't know about the dogs, but I just tell them to stop that and come inside.
Maybe it helps their digestion like cats...the vet would know.

 Grazing in the garden
by: Julianna

My Boston Romeo (2 yrs old) is quite the grazer himself, I too was a little concerned - because he eats a LOT of it! But, the grass doesn't seem to bother him in any way, so I figure he knows what he's doing.
