Eating Grass

Recently a friend asked me why their dog eats grass. This is very common behavior for dogs in case you haven’t noticed. I really don’t know why they eat grass but I assume it’s because something is lacking in their diet. It could be that they have an upset stomach and by eating grass, the dog is able to vomit which makes them feel better afterward. It also could be that some dogs just like the taste of grass.

There’s nothing wrong with dogs eating grass, unless of course your yard has been treated with pesticide or other chemicals that can make your dog sick. If this is the case, just watch your dog and make sure they don’t eat the treated grass. Try offering them some fresh celery sticks or baby carrots to chew on.
