I think everyone has heard that cows eat grass, but dogs eating grass is uncommon because in our impression dogs like to eat dog food and meat. The behavior of eating grass may be seen in some dog-owning families, but even owners do not understand this behavior very well. Actually, everyone should understand some of their dog's habits before raising them. Otherwise, when some unknown situations appear, we won't know how to handle them. So when we see our dog eating grass in the surrounding bushes while playing outside, today I will explain to everyone what are the reasons for dogs eating grass?
     1. Poor digestion.

    Because the dog's gastrointestinal tract is parallel to its body, while ours is vertical, digesting food is not as easy for them. Also, they eat without awareness; they eat as much as the owner feeds them. This can easily lead to overeating, resulting in vomiting or diarrhea. When a dog starts eating grass, the owner should pay attention to whether they are being overfed. They eat grass to try to vomit undigested food quickly. At this time, we can take them out for some mild exercise to help digestion or give them probiotics. If these measures do not relieve the situation, we can take them to the hospital for professionals to help alleviate symptoms.
     2. Eating the wrong things.

    Dogs are different from us; they lack the ability to think and don't know what they can and cannot eat. We often see dogs licking their fur, possibly because they feel dirty and want to clean themselves. But during this process, some fur inevitably enters their stomach with their tongue. Or when taken out to play, they may eat indigestible things. When there is a lot of such material, they feel very uncomfortable. Eating some grass may help them digest and feel better in the stomach.
    After seeing dogs eat grass, we must pay special attention to their diet. If this behavior continues, it indicates they may have health problems and should be taken to see a doctor as soon as possible.
