✅ Normal Behavior
Instinct: Dogs’ wild ancestors sometimes ate plants for fiber and digestion.
Boredom or habit: Some dogs munch on grass when they’re bored, curious, or want attention.
🐾 Health & Digestion
Upset stomach: Some dogs eat grass to induce vomiting if they feel nauseous.
Fiber needs: Grass provides roughage that can help with digestion and bowel movements.
Nutrient deficiency: If a dog’s diet is missing fiber, vitamins, or minerals, they may turn to grass.
🩺 Should You Worry?
Occasional grass eating + normal poop = usually harmless.
Frequent eating, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy = call your vet.
Avoid grass treated with pesticides or chemicals—those can be toxic.
📌 Quick Summary
Dogs eat grass because of instinct, boredom, digestion, or nutrient needs. Occasional nibbling is normal, but if it’s excessive or paired with illness, a vet check is best.
