| Hi all,
My dog, like many others, occasionally eats grass or plant leaves. Apparently scientists still don't really understand why dogs do this.. (the best answer ever is that maybe they like the taste). Anyway, my dog at the leaves of the plant in the image attached. I think he has eaten these leaves before.. sometimes he throws up (vomits) and other times he doesn't. Does anyone know the name of this plant?

| According to my poisons list, Comfrey can cause liver damage in dogs. It might be better if he didn't eat it anymore. |

| Thank you very much for the replies. I am doing more reading on comfrey and it is very interesting to see : 1) the controversial debates regarding comfrey toxicity vs remedy 2) how many other people's dogs (and horses, cows, etc.. ) also eat comfrey |
