eating earth

Post by bodgy »

my dogs have started digging holes and eating earth as if they are needing something. Does any one know what they want?

Certified?

Wouldn't worry about it, mine will all have a chew at some loose turf or whatever crap is lying about in the garden… or what's left of the garden.
