They usually eat grass to be sick. Maybe it calms their stomach, or maybe it just catalyzes vomiting.

Dogs usually eat the grass to get sick. There is usually something upsetting their stomach so they eat the grass and it makes them vomit.

dogs usually eat grass because they have a upset stomic and they usually throw up because of it. Have you changed her food or changed treats? Dogs systems are really sensitive and don't like change. When you do change anything in there diet you want to do it slow, by mixing the new food with the old kind.
Unless she dosn't get better I wouldn't worry to much, my dog does the same thing (usually after she has just gone garbage digging)

I have 3 dogs, and at least once a week one of them throws up. Let's face it - dogs eat gross things! When one of mine gets sick, I usually just watch them for the next 24 hrs or so. If they are eating well, drinking water and otherwise acting okay, then they are probably sick because they eat....whatever. If other behavior is off, ei not eating well, acting different...then it's time for the vet.

Dogs usually eat grass when their stomach is upset. I think it makes them throw up??? Or perhaps just settles it. Either way the vet told me it was common.

My dogs eat grass alot. I think they eat it when something in their stomach isn't settling right.They usually end up throwing up hairballs and other junk (with the grass they eat). Their fine after this happens. So I think your dog is trying to help himself.

Dogs eat grass to calm their stomach. That is their antiacid. This did not make the dog sick.

your dog could possibly be sick from other things also. if anything was left anywheres around the house she could've eaten it. so make sure that if anything is laying around before you go to bed that its picked up so that she doesnt eat it. there are a lot of different things that dogs love to get into and it makes them sick. good luck
