Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Grass and dirt eater :-/ Fri Nov 30, 2012 1:47 pm | |
| I have been having a serious problem with my puppy either eating alot of grass and throwing up or eating dirt and doing the same. It's almost like a once a week thing now. Woke up this morning and she had thrown up in her crate. Tried to get her to not step in it as I opened the door and she plopped down right in it. My vet said that my puppy is in good health and they normally eat grass but it seems like a everyday thing. She gets plenty to eat. I just want to know if its just a puppy thing and maybe grow out of it? |

| She'll probably grow out of it. All dogs have a sense to eat a certain kind of grass when their tummy is upset. This may not be the case for you because your pup is healthy. Just keep an eye out on her behavior though. She probably just likes to chew stuff because she's teething (you didn't mention how old she is, but I'm guessing 4-5 months?).
Juneau would eat grass and dirt to her heart's content (not that I liked it, ugh). She never threw up any of it though. She eats less dirt and grass now and she's 7 months.
Maybe you can distract her by playing fetch or chasing her around the yard?
Are there any chemicals being treated in the grass? That could be the cause of her throw up. |

| Yeah she is 4 months old and no the grass isn't treated. I work for a pest control company and there isn't any chance of me treating it. I try distracting her but it doesn't seem to work... She digs holes and then plays with the dirt balls. It's kinda funny sometimes because she will have it in her mouth and bite down to hard and she tries to spit it out. Hopefully it will slowly stop. I think it's she doesn't know when it's too much. Kinda like she will eat and drink way to much water way to fast. Take a couple steps and I will see it again. |

Sounds like Juneau lol. She still digs holes (from lack of exercise on my part). I don't even want to count how many holes I have. Come springtime I will buy some dirt and grass seed. We need new grass anyways so she's just slowly helping me plant new grass. |
