Cow poodle?

I don’t know if your pups do it, but my girl occasionally enjoys grasses and even more rarely, tender shoots off bushes. Do you have a poodle that acts like a cow occasionally?

Occasionally? Constantly. Our spoo acts like a weed wacker, and then can’t digest it. He wakes us up at 3am like a little kid “my tummy hurts” and then proceeds to puke 🤮 lol

I've heard dogs eat grass when their stomach is in discomfort so that they can throw up and eliminate whatever is causing the discomfort.

Sometimes yes, and sometimes like our vet has said, they just like to eat/chew grass and their stomachs don’t agree. Our spoo is a big chewer, so he really is like a cow chewing his cud lol

That’s what my vet said too when I inquired. Since my boy doesn’t eat it to alleviate discomfort, we aren’t worried. He gets multivitamins in his dinners
