If the poo is white and hard you may be feeding too much bone. There is a risk that your dogs guts could become impacted with this. Perhaps reduce the amount of bone in the diet.

You may find that the grass eating calms down as she gradually gets rid of toxins within her system. This could take roughly a month, depending on dog and it's previous diet, health etc.

Thanks for that reply gutsey. I knew of the potential for agricultural sprays to cause death, but had never heard of an actual instance before. To be honest, I suspected that farmers, quite understandably, put out scare stories to try and keep dog walkers from regarding their land as a sort of local park. Along the same lines, I was not amused to find out that my neighbour had managed to get hold of some aluminium phosphide (no he isn't trained) and had been putting it down next to my veg garden because he couldn' t be bothered to use mole traps (and it didn' t get rid of the moles either). I thought people were supposed to be environmentally aware these days- I know chemicals are an important tool, but they must be used correctly. A bit paranoid, but it makes me think about if dangerous chemicals could find their way back up the food chain to us and our dogs via eating rabbit and hare.

dont think that aluminium phosphide would of done you any good if it had got into your veggies either,

My saluki x goes through phases of eating grass and bringing up yellow stuff daily. I feed a mix of bagged food, raw bones/ chicken carcass, lightly boiled veg. General health is ok and wormed up to date. My mate's beardie 2nd x does the same thing. He feeds a higher percentage B.A.R.F. Both dogs live on farms, so eat an additional amount of unpleasantness that they find. Other dogs on same diet does not get this problem.As you might expect, the vet suggested that I need to feed the v. expensive stuff that they just happen to sell.

Anyone know anything about this?

Evie- I think I am feeding too much overall at the moment- it takes a bit of judging - and as a result there is a rather full and sleepy lurcher next to me. Regarding bone in the gut, I am fairly sure that there was a survey amongst vets which revealed that this only happens with cooked bone, but I am not sure of the source of this info.

gutsey- I read the link on symptoms. I think I will be taking a keen interest in how well my neighbours veg goes down before I eat any of my own.
