Change in dogs eating routine

11 years ago

I have a 6 year old Jack Russell Terrier. He has done the same thing for a morning routine the entire time I've had him. He will go outside and pee, come back inside and eat, and go back outside to poo.

On and off over the last couple of weeks I've noticed a change in his routine. He will go outside and instead of immediately peeing he will start eating grass. After maybe a minute of eating grass he will finally pee. After we come inside he will not show interest in his food for a few minutes. He will always eventually eat it though.

I've noticed no change in his weight, energy level, or stool. I buy a top quality food from a natural pet food store and he generally only eats dog food. We do have a three year old son so there is the occasional drop of something but we keep the harmful foods (chocolate, raisins, etc) far away from him.


Any thoughts to what might be going on? He's very routined as most dogs are is my main reason for concern.
