Our piggy BB isn’t doing too well at the minute due to his bowel disease and doesn’t want to eat anything but grass. Our lawn was mowed only a couple of days ago so we don’t have a good amount we can give him.
We decided to go pick some grass from a nearby field so that we had some but wanted to get some opinions before we actually decide to give it.
We have 2 parks and a field by us so plenty of options for dog walkers, the field seemed our best bet because of this. Dogs do still go on the field, however. The grass is hit and miss in places on the field, so some odd spots have good grass and other spots don’t (probably from wear and tear of people walking). We thought the space was big so perhaps not a lot of dog pee would be around in any one area - if that makes sense.
Anyway, if we soak the grass in water for an hour and then give it a thorough rinse over after that, would this be okay to give? Or would you still advise against it just in case? We don’t want to harm him accidentally, as we’re giving him grass to help him!
Any advice and opinions would be appreciated
