Question
I have a 9 month old shepard puppy and he seems to eat grass all the time. I feed his science diet dog food so i know hes getting a quailty dog food and someone told me it helps them digest food but I just want to know if there is anything i should worry about.  

Answer
Hi Dale,  What kind of dog do you have?  A lot of dogs eat grass for a variety of reasons, one is a lack of something in their diet, another is stress or if their stomachs are bothering them.  Some breeds of dogs are more apt to be prone to being stressed easily (mentally) than others.  Just let me know what kind of dog you have.
