Please tell me why dogs eat grass.....

[gracielove]

I don't know the real reason why dogs eat grass. I have heard several old wives tales about it. I think my cats do it so they can come inside and throw up on my carpeting.

Mrs. Beasley always eats grass and never throws up. We say she in mimicking the cattle and grazing with them.
I asked the vet and he said it was fine and would not harm her.

My two little dogs eat grass just because they like it. Belle will walk around the yard and graze on it in between playing and chasing the birds. Oliver does, too, just not as much. My big dog doesn't eat grass. I guess he just doesn't like it.

I have a yorkie that eats grass every day like a cow. I asked my vet about this & was told some dogs just like the way grass taste. I never see my grass eating yorkie vomit after eating grass, he just likes to graze, lol

Corky will eat grass when his tummy is upset. He will throw up, and he is all good. Corky will eat grass so he can stay outside longer. Corky will eat grass just because. Heck he ate grass this morning.. Just had a vet check last week. Healthy... So he just likes to eat grass.
Not making light of your question, Some dogs just do it.... I say do not let them munch to long. I dropped my coffee this morning stopping mines.

Out of five dogs, 4 of mine eat grass everytime I let them out and I know they are not sick
