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. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 4(2), p. 97-98 | Publisher: | Elsevier Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1878-7517 1558-7878 |
