Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?
Nearly every dog eats grass sometimes, and some dogs eat it all the time. You would think that veterinarians would have a pretty good idea by now of why they do it. But they don’t, mainly because no one has figured out how to ask dogs two important questions: “Do you like the taste?” and “If it tastes so good, why do you throw it up?”
If only dog’s could talk! But if you are like many dog owners who live in a grassy area you would swear sometimes that your dog is an Angus. Dogs just lay out in the yard and graze just like a cow. Dogs explore their worlds with their noses and mouths. And there’s the grass, attractive, sweet-smelling, with an appealing texture; and it’s ever-so-accessible on the ground. Why not eat it?

Thanks

RE: Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?
Some people think dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach but this not true because grass is itself not very digestible.Most people says that dogs eat grass simply because they like the taste. Eating grass is not a sign of illness.Although if there are signs of ill health such as excessive vomiting, vomiting not associated with grass eating, loss of appetite, weight loss, lack of energy,then call your Veterinarian immediately.
