Dogs eating grass

maclinda @maclinda (91) • United States 14 Mar 07

I've had dogs eat grass in the past because their stomach was upset and they needed to vomit, but this is different. Both of our greyhounds periodically eat grass, and don't get sick afterwards. It should be noted that they...

Own a Greyhound? Or does a Greyhound own you?
