Cow-doodle?

[J and Riley (and Luna)]

I toyed with putting this in the puppy, health & medical or food group... but I don't think it  truly belongs in any of those places!

 

Luna has always had a taste for vegetation.  Ever since we brought her home, she has consumed a large amount of plants a day (for a dog - but maybe not a cow!).  I would say she eats about 1-2 cups a day of plants.

 

She rips chunks of grass out of the ground or snatches clumps of clippings off the sidewalk on walks.  She then EATS the whole clump by tearing it into little pieces. She has not once done the normal "dog" thing of vomiting after eating grass.  She also eats weeds (including nibbling stinging nettles a few times - she didn't like that as much), leaves and sometimes small sticks (chomped into tiny pieces).

 

Her poops are normal and she is very regular (extra fiber from the grass maybe yum yum!)

She eats Blue Buffalo (Chicken & brown rice) and her weight is stable and healthy.

She was de-wormed as a puppy and we have her on Revolution for Summer parasite control.

 

The question is - should I be worried that she may have worms or some odd medical condition?

 

Maybe she just spent too much time watching the horses grazing on the farm where she spent her baby weeks ;)

Maybe she did watch too many cows on the farm, we think Myla spent too much time with cats! She is really part cat-really!
