Eating Grass

[geekone]

And moss and soil and stones and bloody anything else he can. I can't follow him about outside for the rest of his life. He is great at asking for a pee and I need to work so following him into the garden is not an option. Will this stop? His poop is full of grass! He's obsessed with mud which we have had to cover with a box (ironically he won't chew this) he has toys treats etc what do I do?

When mine was a young puppy I had to cordon off part of the garden that was safe for him e.g. no stones etc. He did grow out of most of this as he got older.

My pup was a nightmare from 8 to about 13ish weeks... eating bark mulch as well as grass, flowers, trying to eat stones, mud etc etc etc... it was pretty bad as I would literally have to watch every second but he still manage to eat enough to throw up some bark chips in the middle of the night :(
He still eats things aged nearly 16 weeks but nowhere near as bad, this partly happened as he lost interest through experience and partly as he knows he gets told of and the stuff removed from his mouth which he doesn't like..
Hold in there and it's a phase he should grow out of!

My dog was awful for eating things when he was younger. He has grown out of it and we have the "leave it" command nailed if he ever does get tempted by anything.

Thank you. Hopefully he will grow out of it. Unfortunately I cant cordon off bits of my garden he is eating less stones it's just mostly grass and plants 🌱. I am crossing fingers he grows out of it.

The only thing mine hasn't grown out of is eating grass, which makes for interesting mornings when it's comes out in his poo in very long strands

My mates dog is 2 and was a very sick dog a little while ago through eating all sorts of things. Pebbles, bits of brick, shards of wood, shards of bone, random rubbish from the street - he eats anything. He nearly died, and was lucky nothing was perforated.

IMO, even though he weighs about 7kg he should be muzzled outside the house to stop him eating everything in sight, she's battling on with behavioural changes for him. Unfortunately, he's food obsessed and overweight, so she has her work cut our for her....

Be careful he doesn't end up eating something dangerous and think about how to prevent it.

I will of course be keeping an eye on it when out of the house other than grass and stones there isn't anything for him to eat in my garden. He tends to prefer moss and grass to stones thankfully. 7kg 😂 at 11 weeks my boy is already 10kg!

Mine does quite enjoy eating grass, and I'm sure he ingests some of the sticks he crunches up.

I pick my battles - he's never had any problems and I am just happy if he's not eating dropped takeaways tbh.

@AvocadosBeforeMortgages I like your thinking 😂

My GSD regularly eats grass first thing in the morning when we take him out to pee in the garden. 7/10 he'll vomit within 10 mins of doing so and be perfectly happy. We brought it up with our vet and she said it's just one of those things. I looked it up online and saw it may be diet related (he's very picky and only eats wet food with veg strategically hidden). We've started adding a multivitamin to his food and think it may have helped (then again might just be my way of justifying spending £30 a bottle!)
