Answer 2

I am sure that there are nutrients in grasses but I don't think that there are ones that are essential to dog or cat health that are not found in their usual diet. I do not know of any therapeutic value to grass ingestion. That doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't some value ..

I think that some dogs and cats like the taste or texture of grass. Wild dogs and cats probably ingest grass as part of their diet when they eat herbivores who have ingested grass so it may be a flavor they have a genetic predisposition to like,
