to settle their stomach sounds good to me. I took minus both ways in the early round of super stakes because mine was eating grass at base of tree on first tree. After that she treed a coon and won the cast. Took her a little bit to get going. I figured she was sick from being in and out of the box all day.

This is my opinion too. I believe it is vitamin B-17 that is lacking in there normal diet. Some experts believe that the lack of B-17 is what causes cancer.

Why do they eat grass? I'll tell you why! It's cause they see the cows do it all day long and wonder what they're missing!! LOL! No really I think it's just that they like to make us mad by puking all over the place and they know the grass will do it to them!

GRASS...
..SOmetimes to barf, sometimes to eat... I found out with the greyhounds who get cooked veggies in their diet when fresh cooked... that they LIKE veggies and grass. One of ours ALWAYS ate grass before he pooped... it seemed to stimulate the bowels. He would SOMETIMES eat it and barf. He RARELY barfed it up though so it usually came out the other end... pretty well undigested... LOL.. Between my LONG hair and...HAY.... we have had to pull out a few hangers..... LOL...
OUr current dogs... the Blue dawg is a grazer and loves to eat honey bees as well. THe BnT eats when he's overly hungry and we are feeding too late... then he barfs and looks SAD... He also grazes without barfing. Our first BnT did not eat grass unless she wanted to barf but ALWAYS ate dandelions....
WHY? We'd have to speak DOG to find out wouldn't we?
BUT... it DEFINATELY isn't ONLY when they don't feel good! COyotes eat lots of veggies, grass and apples. Around here if you find their poo you find a buffet mix!
