My "babies" do this all the time. I have 4 dogs and one of them is really attatched to one of my 3 cats and they clean each other and hang out all the time. The grass thing my dogs do sometimes when they have upset bellies but not always

The grass she eats is probably due to her having a stomachache. As 4 cleaning herself & the cat I think she might have picked that up from the cat. Maybe u should take her to the vet 2 get her checked out!! Good Luck!!

My dogs both eat grass. I had heard they do that when their stomach is upset, but I think mine just like to eat grass.(they eat leaves and pinecones and dirt too. No accounting for taste).
My dogs also both lick each others face and ears. One cleans herself like a cat does. She has a lot of catlike habits. Its kindof weird. The other occasionally licks the kitten.

eating grass is perfectly normal for dogs. some will do it more than others, for instance, in doberman pinschers, we call it "grazing" because they do it so much, they look like cows! it's safe and normal, even if they seem to hack it up a little.
some dogs will groom more than others, especially breeds like the shiba inu or akita. some dogs just like to keep really clean. :) just make sure it's grooming, and not an obsessive behavior. as long she's not licking the same spot over and over, you're good. sometimes bored or neurotic dogs will begin this behavior and it ends in open sores and expensive treatment.
it's fine for your pets to clean each other, in fact, it sounds like you have a very harmonious and loving household. while dogs can pick up behaviors from other pets, these all sound normal and doggy-ish and nothing to worry about.

My dog like to lick herself, but not the cat, but we have accused her of being part cat. Grass dogs like eat when they get a tummy ache.

Dogs do these things.I had a beagle who used to do the same thing.He would clean one of my cats,and the cat would clean him.And all of my dogs eat grass.

yes your dog is very normal, and a clean one at that, it is in there behavior to clean themselves, be thankful she does this, look at the work you would have to do if she didn't

it's normally the same deal with people some have stranger habits then most but if it becomes a problem (serious of course) then consult a vetenarian
