Dog eats tree leaves

Question
Hi Labman,
My Cavalier King Charles wants to eat green tree leaves or grass every morning
and then vomit.  Can you tell me why?  Is she lacking something in her diet?
Thanks,
Terri

Answer
Just why dogs do that is hard to say.  Chances are if you are feeding a decent dog chow and little else, she is getting the complete and balanced diet she needs.  I know my puppies are eating a well proven diet, and most of them eat grass and everything else.  

A couple big putty knives work well on bowel movements. Just slide one under it while holding it with the other. This gets it up with a minimum of pushing it down into the carpet. This works with even relatively soft ones, vomit, dirt from over turned house plants, or anything else from solids to thick liquids. Finish up with a good shot of carpet foam. Note, do not let the puppy lick up the carpet foam.
