Dogs eating grass

Hello I believe that animals know what they need and will go for it. My dogs all love veggies and my oldest dog 15 year golden eats tomatoes right off the vine in our garden. R

It's a good possiblility that they are missing something in their diet. Nothing too serious I'm guessing because they're not scarfing it. Grass also works as a fiber replacement. So they may naturally be using it as a fiber supplement.

I guess you should take some grass samples to your vet and have him examine the grass if it causes any harm to dogs, just to be sure because as much as dogs need fiber, there are several grass types that are poisonous to dogs. Better be sure than sorry

I think it's probably because they want some veggies! lamb and rice gets pretty boring, you know:). We feed our grey baby spinach sometimes (although we pay a high price later that night, he can clear a room without even waking up) or lettuce. I just mix it in with the dry food when I'm de-bloating it or whatever. You know, soaking it. He usually ends the meal on the leaves (with some funny faces and lots of spitting it out to eat it again) but he always finishes it. The only thing he doesn't really like is the carrots.

My dog does this too. She actually sometimes eats broccoli too. I think they just like to taste things just like we do. I'd be more worried about pesticides that might be on the grass. As long as there aren't any, let them have their "greens".

It is a myth that dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach. Canine diets require some ingredients found in vegetable matter, and being that they are eating grass, they are probably lacking something in their diet. The tend to vomit due to the fact that a dog's digestive system (like a human's) is not capable of digesting grass. Either they will vomit the undigested grass or pass undigested grass in their stool.
