why do dogs eat grass?

Answer 1

Actually they eat grass because it tastes sweet. The fact that eat grass when they have an upset stomach is urban myth. It tastes good to some dogs. I wouldn't encourage it tho.

Answer 2

Dogs and cats and many other furry little creatures eat the grass for a few different reasons. For our domestic friends, it's usually because they have a tummy ache, and the nutrients in the grass help calm their bellies. Sometimes they eat it, simply because they like it, or their body may be lacking in iron. If you're concerned about the dogs health with eating grass, don't worry. Just be sure that your grass has not been fertilized within the last 24 hours. Always keep pets off the grass for 24 hours after fertilizing it.

Your pup should be fine. But just to be sure, please check with your vet to rule out any underlying issues.
