Most herbs play only a small part in a canine diet although it plays a remarkable and important role in the medicine of the dogs.
The dog is not a true vegetable-eater only the content is eaten from the intestines of the prey he kills and he eats small amounts of different grasses, berries, mosses, which he himself then searches for.
Many dogs have completely lost their natural instincts in the search for herbs.
Only dogs are still their instinct for the admirable and intestinal cleansing herb; couch grass (Agropyrum Repens), to have retained in the field of herbs.
Unfortunately, this instinct is even thwarted by their owners who drag their dogs away from the grass because it would spit out the dog's bile. But that is precisely the purpose of this herb, apart from the laxative properties, for which the dog eats cultivated grass.
Modern veterinarians advise their customers to keep the dog (s) away from breeding grass as this would cause vomiting and sensitive intestines.
Yet this grass is so important to stay healthy. In this way the dog can get rid of sickening toxins.
It is a blessing for their liver, kidneys and bladder and it works soothing on complaints of gout and rheumatism.
If cultivated grass is not available as a wild plant, roots should be obtained and planted where dogs can use these grasses.
