How can I stop my dog from eating grass?

Answer 1

Eating grass seems to be a normal behavior for dogs even though we tend to think that their diet should consist of other things. There have been a number of studies done trying to link grass eating with illness, vitamin or mineral deficiencies, lack of roughage in the diet and other things --- all without producing a strong correlation to any particular problem.

Answer 2

For dogs grass is an antacid which they eat when they have an upset stomach. It is natural and also a good indicator of when they are sick. If a dog is eating grass but not eating his favorite food he is probably sick and needs to see a vet. Don't stop the grass eating just watch his other behavior. Good luck
