One of the most frustrating behaviors seen in animal companions is the wish to eat grass. In most cases veterinarians as well as animal guardians do not understand why specific pets will eat grass. While I do suggest wholesome natural diets such as Wysong, Nature’s range or Halo, most pets do not eat grass since of a nutritional deficiency.
In some cases, the pet will be suffering from some kind of tummy or digestive upset, as well as in those cases, many pets will ingest grass in order to get themselves to purge their system as well as vomit to cleanse their body as well as eliminate toxins. when the digestive upset has passed, many pets will indeed stop ingesting grass.
There are trace nutrients in grass, including chlorophyll as well as trace minerals, that are really healthy for pets. In unusual cases I will discover that supplementing pets’ diets with additional nutrients, including fresh greens as well as veggies, in addition to NaturVet Enzymes as well as VitaChews will sometimes lessen unwanted grass eating. I have not discovered industrial products such as Forbid or Deter useful in preventing grass eating in dogs or cats.
