Bichon Frise: Why Does your Bichon Eat Grass?
Does your Bichon Frise eat grass when he/she’s not feeling well? Ever wonder why? The experts don’t know for sure. They think it might be that they like the taste or they eat it in order to vomit. Probably both are right, but there are other more important reasons why.
Most people aren’t aware that throughout history indigenous peoples and all mammals have turned to grasses and green plants to recover from illnesses. Green plants are green because they contain high amounts of chlorophyll. And what does chlorophyll do for the body?
*inactivates pathogenic bacteria and fungi
*neutralizes toxins, purifying the body
*enriches the blood (chlorophyll and hemoglobin are nearly identical)
*contains a rich mixture of vitamins, minerals, proteins, fatty and nucleic acids, and nutrients to strengthen the immune system and prevent premature aging.
*provides large amounts of digestive enzymes
As you can see from this listing, it pretty well covers what your Bicon Frise needs to stay healthy. And if there are pathogens or toxins in the stomach making your dog sick and not wanting to eat, it becomes obvious why he/she will attempt to find some grass.
To help your Bichon Frise, whether it’s a tummy-ache or preventively building health, keep several sources of “wonder” green powders on hand. Chlorophyll, spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, and chlorella are all available on the Internet or in health food stores. They can be sprinkled on or in your Bichon’s food or, if he/she is not eating, you can add a bit of water and administer the remedy with a medicine syringe available at pet stores. Considering all of the health benefits of greens, you may want to join your Bichon Frise and try some yourself!

Dogs eating grass?
Usually after vomiting or feeling sick, a dog instinctively eats grass. Why? What is in grass that makes them feel better? Could it ever work on humans?
Every dog periodically eats grass to help cleanse their bodies. It makes them gag, and then they promptly throw it up. It’s a 100% natural and healthy for them to do.
Grass is also good for humans, and you can get certain kinds locally as a matter of fact (wheatgrass for instance).
Whatever the case, you have nothing to be concerned about. If your dog seems to be throwing up in excession (for days and days at a time) you should contact your veteranarian.
Good luck!
