My dog eats tons of grass. Winter is coming. Is there a substitute for grass?

She has a twice a week cough and the grass takes it away.
Answers:
You can buy pet grass that can be grown indoors.
Go to your local pet store and ask about it.
Many people do this for their inside cats but I'm sure it's fine for dogs also.
Better food.
dogs eat grass when they have a stomach ache cuz it helps them digest faster. Not very good if it does it often! Take the poor animal to a vet already cuz as far as I am concerned dogs aint cows!
go to home depot you could buy grass all year round
She is probably having a digestive problem. You may want to get her checked at the vet. There may be something besides grass that could permanently help her.
i heard they sell grass in grocery stores people and animals can eat
I also have a dog that eats grass and thats a sign of a upset stomache the cough could be a cough called kennel cough caused by being around other dogs or in a unsanitary area
You could actually plant some in a planter for her. Make sure you plant the kind that she likes to eat..
well the grass wont hurt her. my vet told me that the dog was having trouble taking a poop so that's why he was eating grass. he said there was no medical evidence that that means they are sick just cause they eat grass.he said it was good fiber for them. and that he might just like the taste of it
Grass is medicine to dogs. Helps stomach aches and helps them throw up. Your dog is telling you it doesn't feel well. Grass is not a main staple of their diets. So take her to the vet!
astro turf best substitute grass
did you just get the dog? it could be kennel cough, needs to be treated with anti-botics. eating grass is a sign og an upset stomace. it sounds like coinencedence that the dog stops coughing when it eats grass. sounds like 2 seperate problems. pet smart sells pet grass so does some albertsons.

although some dogs just love the taste of grass. get your self a cat box tray, get some top soil from your local nersery, and seed oor plant your dog some wheat grass. that way even in the winter your dog can get the grass he wants.
Get a window box size planter and fill it with potting soil and plant a nice grass blend in it, get it started now so it will have a good healthy root system before winter. Instead of grass you can use wheat.
i have never heard of a dog eating grass other then to make themselves throw up r u sure your dog is ok and doesnt need to see a vet?
