One of those behaviors that may come as a surprise to
most dog owners especially those who are first timers
is when dogs eat grass. Why do dogs eat grass?
This is one of the questions often asked to
veterinarians. Fiber is not something dog desires and
grass does not definitely go well with their digestive
tract. But this continues to be a habit for most
canines.

2
One of the reasons why dogs eat grass is when they
have gastric problems. Most people believe that
eating grass is a way for dogs to relieve themselves
against gastric problems as it can help them vomit.

Vomiting can help eliminate any toxic substances and
irritant that they may have ingested. But vets also ask
whether vomiting is inducted by the grass or does the
grass induce vomiting.

3
Another possible reason why dogs want to eat grass is
the need for roughage that meats and dog foods are
unable to provide. Some dogs eat grass because they
want to check out their territory.

It is a known fact that many dogs have the habit of
marking their territory. Similarly, some say that dogs
tend to eat grass to check the territory for some signs
of invasion.

4
As unpleasant as it may seem, dogs like to own their
spot and mind about invading territorial space.
Worms can also be another reason why dogs seem to
have a good appetite for grass when allowing them to
stay in your lawn. This reason is pretty similar to dogs
eating grass due to tummy ache. But in this case,
worms seemed to be the culprit. That could be true
except that there are some pets that get works
despite their habit of eating grass.

5
Aside from that, dogs should be de-wormed regularly.

Would you believe that dogs eat grass because they
like the taste of it? This reason many appear quite
scientific but it should also be considered that dogs
have their own personal taste. This is exactly the
reason why dog foods are available in a variety of
flavors. The taste of grass is appealing to dogs
whether or not they have stomach upset or other
conditions that will make them want to vomit.

6
Some dogs are also meant to be vegetarian and are
attracted to eating grass.
No matter what the reason may be, there are some
dogs who simply like eating grass for no apparent
reason. Although there is not any threat or immediate
danger to the health of the dog with this behavior, it is
safe to ensure that the grass your dog munches on is
free of any pesticide or fertilizer.

7
With your pooch munching grass from your own, at
least you never have to worry about regularly mowing
it.
Dogs eating grass may seem strange but this is one of
those normal behaviors of dogs that dog owners
should learn to accept. Grass probably has a good
effect on them so there is nothing for you to worry
about.
