[Dailydrool] Dogs eating grass question

[Esther Strom]

Waldo used to eat grass when he wasn't feeling well, but Basil just 
likes to graze. He's like a little cow, munching away at the grass and 
plants. (I make sure to only plant non-poisonous ones in my yard, and 
don't let him do it when we're out walking because you never know what 
plants and pesticides other people use.) I call him my organic weed-killer.

My vet says it's perfectly fine, as long as it doesn't seem to bother 
his stomach. I just think of it like a salad bar - Basil loves greens 
and raw veggies, so why not?
