Many careful parents who raise dogs may notice this phenomenon. Sometimes when their dogs are playing outside, they will lie down on the grass in the park or in the wild, chewing the grass with relish, and sometimes even wolfing it down. I believe most people will be surprised and can’t help but ask: Why are dogs eating grass?

Many dogs like to eat grass, and some even regard eating grass as their daily habit, just like being led by their owners for a walk every day. So what exactly causes your dog to gorge on grass?

​ 1. Dogs have too much fiber in their bodies and need to self-gastric lavage

Dogs will inadvertently eat their own hair when they eat, and they may also eat some hair-like fibers when they play. If these substances accumulate in the dog's body, they will cause stones and cause the dog to suffer from arthritis. Dogs may suffer from indigestion and even anorexia, which are very harmful to their health. Eating a small amount of grass, like cats, can help dogs remove hair from their bodies.

​ 2. Indigestion and stomach discomfort in dogs

When dogs feel indigestion, stomach fever, bloating, stomach pain and other stomach discomforts, dogs will find the most natural solution, which is to eat grass. When a dog devours grass, the rough leaves and stems of the grass will rub against the throat and stomach, causing them to itch. This itching, in turn, can cause the dog to vomit, especially if the dog devours the grass without eating it. This feeling becomes more intense when chewing.

Therefore, when dogs eat grass, they may feel that their stomachs are unclean, so they will often eat some grass to clean their stomachs. Soon after the dogs eat grass, they will vomit out the indigestible things. If your dog vomits after eating grass, you can feed it some probiotics from Cuda Probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract and help the dog recover from gastrointestinal problems.

3. The dog finds it fun and eats some grass

Although dogs do not eat a large amount of grass at one time like ruminants such as cattle, they will bite it off bite by bite and then chew it slowly for a while without spitting it out. Only dogs who are feeling unwell or sick will eat large amounts of grass and then vomit it all up. Dogs may be doing this because they've discovered that grass is actually delicious, or they may be doing it because they just need a little roughage in their stomachs.

​ 4. Dogs are deficient in trace elements and vitamins

There is another situation that we should pay special attention to: First of all, when my dog ​​ate grass at first, I also checked online. Many people, like me, thought that this was the dog’s natural reaction and that he had to eat grass in order to regulate himself or something. , onlineMany people say this, and I just believe it. But when the dog stopped eating, I took him to the doctor. The doctor said that it is not normal for dogs to eat grass frequently. Eating grass is pica. If it is not solved in time, it will affect the gastrointestinal tract. This in turn affects absorption and produces adverse consequences. Only then did I realize that I had been stupid before and had harmed the dog by not treating him in time.

Secondly, you can observe carefully. When a dog swallows grass, if it is kept indoors without grass, the dog will swallow other objects such as rags, plastic bags, paper towels and even small rubber toys. If you find that your dog frequently eats grass, the owner should be more vigilant. It must be that the dog is seriously deficient in vitamins, gnaws randomly, and has pica. At this time, it is necessary to supplement the dog with multivitamins.

Some parents prepare vegetables and other things for their dogs to eat, but they often find that there is no improvement after eating them for a long time. That is because there are only a few types of vitamins in vegetables, which are not enough to supplement the vitamins that the dog's body lacks. I was giving my dog ​​instant calcium supplement, which contained 8 kinds of vitamins and 12 kinds of trace elements. After eating for a period of time, the dog’s symptoms of eating grass improved.

So you should understand that it is not a bad thing for dogs to eat grass. But be aware that your dog is suddenly eating a lot of grass. This may be a potential sign that your dog may have some disease and he is trying to treat himself, so you need to pay special attention to it.

5. Special reminder

1. Dirt or chemicals in the grass are dangerous. If the grass is unusually green, some kind of chemical has probably been used and the dog must be kept away.

2. You can also buy a small tray for the dog to hold grass, or plant a small garden at home. This can provide your dog with an alternative to outdoor lawns and gardens, so your dog won't accidentally eat outdoor insecticides, herbicides and some pesticides.
