Is it bad for my dog to eat a lot of snow?

[Chloe_girl]

My dog loves to play in the backyard, especially when it snows.
However, lately, he sits on the snow and just eats it...
He just eats it and eats it...
Is this bad for him?

There's no harm in eating snow - the only concern would be not to assume that snow replaces water. There is very little water in snow, so provide fresh water for your dog at all times. If needed, there are heated water dishes that will prevent water from freezing. Make sure that snow is pure - no salts or chemicals.
