Every time we walk our dogs they have their noses to the ground and I think they are eating grub worms! Besides being gross can there be any harm in this? Is that what they are eating? It is worse at night. I have two beautiful female beagles.
My yorkipoo is doing the same thing. This morning she actually had one in her mouth. I came up to her and she spit it out. I think she is eating them too. I realize they are dogs and they should act like one, but I don't want an adverse reaction coming from these nasty things.
I agree with the previous posters. I think your dogs are "practicing to be a dog"...that's what we say when our fourth child (the only one with 4 legs) does this in our yard. She gets the hair ruffled up on her neck and growls low in her throat and trails something (probably gophers) all around the yard.
Your beautiful little babies are having a ball seeing the things move and having fun doing a natural thing. I would start giving them more things to do and be concerned with, such as simple training, and here is a website that is very good about teaching how to train a dog..... leerburg.com
They have articles and podcasts that are free. The dog is just having a ball! They are high in protein...(yucky). Robyn
