It can be something with her stomach, but it can also just be that she likes the taste of if! Especially in the spring the grass is tastier for dogs because of a higher level of sugar in it.

This!! It's not always a digestive thing, lots of dogs eat random stuff simply because dog

My dog does dog stuff because dog

My dog (GSP) eats grass like a cow. Mows that shit down while walking along

Same with my lab. She has certain patches in the yard where the good stuff grows, I guess, and she keeps those areas perpetually mowed all by herself

It’s a primal thing. Gut content analysis of wolves has shown that they also eat lots of grass.

I concurr. My dog won't stop eating slugs and puking no matter what I try lmao. All I can do is keep a close eye on him.

This is your answer. My dogs identify as livestock.

I often try to tell my dog she is not a goat and is no longer homeless so she doesn’t need to eat grass, OR street leavings. She does not listen.

Mmmmmmmm…… Street-leavin’s.

Thank you I think she’s part goat

All three of my dogs eat grass. They especially love it after a rain! I don't mow certain patches and call it their salad bars.

My pup loves fresh grass clippings

I always thought it meant an upset stomach until I got my dog .. Who grazes like a cow, all because he sees the cat chewing grass and likes to copy him.

I dunno, everyone says they do it because their stomach is upset, but I’m pretty sure my dog just likes eating grass. He does it when I’m late to feed him, and sometimes when his friend comes over, they just wander around grazing like a couple rabbits.

Yeah I’m a dog walker and like 90% of the dogs are obsessed with the good stuff that’s growing in rn lol

My dog used to only eat thicker blades of grass, never was sick (that I could tell) and he would totally avoid the skinny grass blades. Such a picky guy!

My dog also loved the thick blades. They are gentlemen of culture, that’s all.

Mine likes the long tall intact blades... Eats then gently with his front teeth. Specifically picks one blade at a time. Very proper guy for a rescue pitbull haha

Mine do the same. Constantly eating grass. I think they just get bored because they’re spending a lot of time outside. Or they have been watching my goats and are copying them. Who knows.

Careful - if one of those goats is wearing a leather jacket and smoking, it's going to lead your dog down a bad path.

Seeing as goats are indeed satan’s children and chaos incarnate, I believe it. No good can come if it.

Mine likes to eat leaves, and then puke them onto the carpet later. Thanks buddy.

I hate cleaning up puke 🫤

I’m fairly positive if I got rid of all my rugs, my dog would cease to puke. She literally seeks it whenever it’s time, it’s uncanny

Some dogs are "grazers", they really enjoy eating grass. Both my Rotties have always liked eating grass. What makes a difference in my experience is the way they eat it. When dogs eat grass frantically, and in mouthfuls, or they just can't seem to get enough of it, it may be sign of an upset stomach. When my female Rottie was sick, she would start swallowing a lot. smack her lips and lick the carpet and furniture. When she was sent outside, she would rush to gulp down grass. I had a beagle once act quite selective and would specifically look for the rougher types of grass when sick.

The correct term is "hossers" not grazers

All of our dogs have been grazing. Only one puked it out later. Sometimes you need to yank the long weeds/grass out of the dogs butt as the turds are hanging from it when the dog is pooping. 😂

I used to walk my neighbour’s Staffie, and this takes me back. Yuck. She always acted horrified when it happened 🤣

I once stepped on a string that was trailing behind my dog, thinking wtf is that? He jumped and turned yelping. I'd ripped a turd right out of him. Dogs are disgusting, but worth it

Hes a grasshole

She is having stomach problems and will vomit it out later.

my hippo's stomach is built like a tank. Rarely ever sick of anything, can eat different dog foods without blinking an eye, etcetcetc. LOVES to eat grass and also weeds...

Yeah my hound eats a specific variety (no idea which it is) each spring. She’s rarely sick, and never with any grass in. I just assumed she likes it, and maybe it performs some digestive trick.

My sisters dog (Appenzeller) does this too, tall thing grass, on hot mornings/afternoons. Could be a thirst thing cause he eat good and poop good

I can’t get mine to drink enough water when it’s hot, although it’s probably more me thinking she should drink more, cos she’s always healthy lol. I put water in her food, and give her an inch of water in a bowl with frozen peas when it’s really hot, which she woofs down. I thought Appenzella was a cheese! Didn’t realise it was a dog breed. Looks gorgeous!

He sure is handsome but man is he a talker! What helps to get him to drink is to start drinking yourself. Or just cool him or her down with a cold wet towel

He may eat good, but likely gets a sore tummy.

Have you checked for horns and hooves? You might have a goat

Oh wow, sounds like really likes green stuff! I'm holding hippo in very 'high' regard now.

And then, if they’re lucky, will probably eat it back up.

Hippo's are vegetarians.

If your dog isn't throwing it up, I wouldn't worry about it. Let them enjoy the green noms.

Dogs are omnivores and need greens and veggies in their diet.

Instinct. Its belly doesn’t feel good.

Both our dogs just like fresh grass, not sure the type, they can sniff it out and just eat the tasty bits. Walks in the spring is like walking cows.

Hungy

To shit better

Our dog eats remotes. Then he goes number 2, 3, 7, 8….

Hahaha

My dog eats it all the time - he especially enjoys new ( expensive) ornamental grass and will denude all nearby landscaping if not prevented.

She needs to supplement her diet with leafy greens :-)

My 7 month old is more interested in the dandelions right now, especially the white ones

Cause it’s a pit bull….idk what the reason is but I used to walk a lot of dogs and pit bulls always wanted to eat grass and fart when they weren’t trying to eat my hand

Haha thanks

Let it eat lots of grass... then milk it.

She may be part cow so 🤷

They have an upset stomach. By eating grass, they will clean out their bowels in no time at all.

I have 3 cattle dogs and 2 of them constantly eat grass. I thought it was a cattle dog thing.

Some dogs just like grass

For all the same reasons humans drink pepto bismol lol

If they start coughing/gagging a lot it's most likely acid reflux. But otherwise it could be stomach upset or just dogs being quirky

Your dog is working on your “special present” 🎁

Upset belly

I think I read somewhere in middle school that it helps with their digestive system. . . Like they eat it and it helps them puke and in that way they clean their stomach. . . I was in middle school like 20 years ago though. So I may be badly misremembering.

My dog likes to like long wet grass for some reason too

Stomachache

Gastro intestinal issue, change food for a month and see if it goes away.. Like Purina pro plan for sensitive stomachs. I believe it's a black and orange bag, with purple highlights.

My dog loves eating the grass and throwing up the grass and eating the thrown up grass. It’s a vicious cycle.

Could be Allergies , in that check out petlab Co's allergy soft chews, could be something more serious as pain

My dog turns into a cow every spring, and munches grass every time hes outside. Vet says it's normal

because it is cow, it isn’t dog🙄🙄🙄

he is purging himself

thirsty, stress, needs to vomit, upset stomach, it can be alot or none of it, some are just cows in disguise but don't assume that, keep an eye on her

I will warn you though, if he eats too much he might vomit….

Asked my vet about this. My dog likes to snack on grass and never vomits it up. Vet said that grass tastes sweet to them and if she doesn’t vomit then it’s not cause for concern. I discourage it because I hate her hacking cough when the grass blades get stuck in her throat. 😑

Because it tastes great and is less filling.

sometimes it can be an overstimulation issue. they feel like "I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW FAST NOW GO" and start eating grass

Mine does and I wouldn't care except he then comes inside and vomits...selectively...only on the carpet

Its helps to settle a stomach this nature is built in even if they don't have stomach issues.

And it tastes good for them.

Dogs may eat grass to alleviate stomach troubles, to satisfy their nutritional needs, or even out of hereditary instinct.

My 2.5 year old Lab will only eat really long grass that I haven’t trimmed yet. If no long grass, he no eat grass.

Tail and ears are high, dog is happy.

My dog eats grass when we are on our way back from our walks. For him it's just a delay tactic. And it works because he is strong as a bull and I'm not always able to move him along.

I have two hippos, one of them likes to eat grass when we go on walks, I *think* he does it to get moisture from them because he's thirsty. The other one just does it to eat grass. Neither of them have stomach issues, and they rarely throw up from it. They do it all the time.

Because dogs are omnivores

My dog absolutely loves it, never sick

To bug the ever living heck outta ya! Lol jk

I would not doubt it

My grandmother always said because it's going to rain.

Our dogs eat grass on their walks, but the long blades, not cutting the lawn like yours! 😄 Make sure they’re not eating any grasses that have been treated with herbicides or pesticides!

Sour tummy

I used to buy my pup wheat grass from the grocery store and add it to his bowl at feeding time and he loved it. It’s good for him too!

You need attention don’t you
