5. WHY DO DOGS EAT GRASS?
It is commonly believed that eating grass means your dog is unwell or feeling sick; trying to relieve any pain or discomfort – but that may not entirely be the case. Less than 25% of dogs will actually vomit after they have eaten grass. So, if they’re not eating grass to be sick or to soothe an upset stomach, then why are they doing so?
Well, the answer is simple! Dogs, just like us humans, need a varied diet – which includes roughage – and grass just so happens to be a great source of fiber, supporting your dog’s digestive system.
If your pup has a fiber deficiency, it can affect their ability to pass stools comfortably and digest food correctly. So, your pup may actually be snacking on some blades of grass to fulfill a need for fiber to help their bodies run more smoothly.
