Most people think that dogs only eat grass when they are sick.  You may be surprised to find that some dogs eat grass simply because they like grass.  They find it appetizing, like some people may get a craving for a salad for lunch!   Along with their diet of canine cuisine, every now and then they may feel the urge to graze on a mouthful of green grass.  As a pet owner, we ask that you make sure that your pet does not eat grass that has been recently treated with fertilizers or pesticides as these can be harmful.  For indoor pets, you can find kits that allow you to grow a small tray of grass so that every pet is priviledged to have access to fresh green grass all the time.
