Yes, that's completely normal. My dog does this all the time as well, and I think it actually helps to clean out their stomachs of anything that could be bad. Grass has a lot of nutrients as well, so I imagine it is even good for them to some extent. There isn't anything harmful in grass either way. No need to worry about it.

Yes it is normal. Some Pet Stores even sell "Pet Grass". Some believe dogs eat it on occasion to clean out their stomachs or because their stomachs are upset. Others believe it may hail back to times when dog's ancestors used to kill their prey and the first thing they ate was their stomach and stomach contents which often included grass.
It won't hurt the dog unless there is some sort of toxic treatment on the grass.

Yes it is normal. My dog eats it all the time, as do many dogs. It is a myth that they only eat grass when they have an upset stomach. While they may do that, there are many other reason why.

It is normal. They eat grass for their digestive systems. My dog nibbles on stuff sometimes too. They even have little pots of grass for dogs at Pet Smart.
Now, if the dog has loose bowels or vomits or had other symptoms then take him to the Vet.

Do not stop the dogs from eating grass, You eat lettuce and salad, they eat grass. It is supposed to ease their bowel movements.
If you do spray grass with weed killer, keep them off the grass when it is wet, try to let them eat that grass. Dogs would not normally eat enough to accumulate enough poison to hurt them, but why take a chance.

It's normal and healthy for your dog to eat grass. It helps regulate there digestive system.

It is normal (to eat a little once in awhile) though not recommended especially if you treat the grass with chemicals.
Grass can change their bowel patterns and/or make them vomit.

Its VERY normal . They do it to purge food from their stomachs.if they ate something that bugged their stomach the grass, will help bring it back up and make them feel all better. Even cats do it.
