Usually after vomiting or feeling sick, a dog instinctively eats grass. Why? What is in grass that makes them feel better? Could it ever work on humans?

Every dog periodically eats grass to help cleanse their bodies. It makes them gag, and then they promptly throw it up. It's a 100% natural and healthy for them to do.
Grass is also good for humans, and you can get certain kinds locally as a matter of fact (wheatgrass for instance).
Whatever the case, you have nothing to be concerned about. If your dog seems to be throwing up in excession (for days and days at a time) you should contact your veteranarian.
Good luck!

My dog eats grass after vomiting too. It does help them throw up, instead of keeping it all inside them to make them feel sick. maybe in the future we could eat grass, but it's not very sanitary right now!! It also can make there stomach feel like it is not filled too make them want to throw up even more.

Yes, dogs do eat grass. Usually if your dog is eating grass, its stomach is hurting so you might want to make sure your dog hasnt eatenn anything it shouldnt have, like garbage or table scraps.

I don't know about the dog thing, but humans should never eat grass.

The grass actually helps them throw up. My dog eats it if he doesn't feel well. They instinctively try to throw up if their stomach is upset.

Umm, the grass has protine in it that they need. They now it and will eat it. Some times the grass will make they throw up more, but it still holds some things that there body needs and carve.

they don't know why dogs eat grass, really.
in the wild, many dogs eat grass as part of their diet, so it might be instinctive to eat grass.

Would not recommend for humans LOL
The grass scratches their throat, making them throw up, hence feel better, they are using instinct. We have intellect, so we take a Tums instead.

Dogs eat grass to help sidle there stomach and helps digestion
in some dog it helps them vomit or they will swallow it to help with there stomach. I don't think it would help humans.
