03.06.2024 19:27

Some dogs are completely indifferent to grass: during a walk they do not show the slightest interest in it.

But there is also another situation: the dog owner feels as if he took his pet out to pasture, so actively is the dog engaged in eating grass.

Therefore, it is worth initially knowing whether such a habit of a dog is acceptable, experts note.

What is the correct answer to this question?

It is worth understanding that ordinary grass does not pose any threat to the life and health of the animal. Many pets use it to properly cleanse the digestive organs.

Some even believe that this habit is beneficial.

But in this case we are talking about grass that grew far from exhaust gases and other chemicals. If you eat grass right within the city limits, you can ruin your pet's health.

If the grass has managed to accumulate a certain amount of chemical elements, then there is no benefit from it: it can cause harm.

Therefore, grow special grass for animals yourself or go to places where cars rarely pass.
