FAQ

How much Wheatgrass is dangerous?

Non-toxic: safe to graze.

Can I treat this at home?

Grazing is fine and is the point of the plant.

When should I call the vet?

Rarely needed. Persistent grass-eating with vomiting is worth a call, since that points at an upset stomach rather than the grass.
