Hi there,

It is instinctive for dogs to eat grass, They maintain their digestion that way. However it can cause a blockage in the GI tract

You can get safe canine greens in a pet supply.

You can also add fiber bread and cooked veggies like carrots , green beans, broccoli to their meals. They can also have a daily vitamin and mineral suppliment.

Add canned pumpkin (not pie filling) @ a tablespoon a day for fiber.

Please let me know if these suggestions solve the problem. I will always be here for you and your babies.

Sincerest best wishes,

Terri
