puppy eating grass

Question
We just brought home an 8 week old chocolate lab. As we are enjoying beautiful spring weather, we've spent a lot of time with her outside. We've noticed that she likes to nibble on the grass on our lawn. She is eating well and hasn't had diarrhea or anything else to cause us concern. Is it okay for her to eat the grass (we do not have other dogs who use our lawn)?

Answer
Hello Sue and congrats on your new puppy you'll be sure to have a blast with her.

Chewing grass is ok every dog I've ever known did it, We used to say it was because the dog had an upset tummy when they ate the grass but my jack russell tertrier eats it every day and he is never sick and is very healthy... i think he just likes to eat grass lol. AS long as there are no weed killers/fertilizers on the grass its ok to eat,

Have fun with your puppy.
