Maternal Influence on Grass-Eating Behavior in Puppies

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Very little is known about grass-eating behavior or its origin in the domestic dog, 'Canis familiaris'. Grass eating is observed in both wolves and dogs, suggesting that the behavior was preserved through domestication and is innate. The nursing mother may also influence grass-eating behavior in her puppies. The current study investigated the influences of the mother and puppy age on grass eating in 5- to 7-week-old puppies.
