my dog has been eating alot of grass what does that mean?

Question

shes mini dachshund

Answer 1

I have a yorkshire terrier which is somewhat similar to a dachshund so i think i can help. Usually when they eat grass or leaves they have a upset stomach. When they do eat grass or leaves somehow it helps calm their stomach.

Answer 2

She may need a better dog food. Some cheap brands don't have enough veggies, or the wrong type for dog nutrition. Call the vet and ask for recommendations (free advise). Get 3 or 4 brand names. If it's not diet, she may be curious or bored.

Answer 3

Sometimes this is due to a definciency and sometimes just to aide in digestion. Ethier way try to ensure she does not eat the grass as it may have insecticides or other hazardous chemicals that will make her sick!
