i had seen our pet dogs go to the yard and eat green grass in the past. lately, i again saw one of them eat grass.

they say that when a dog eats grass, they are experiencing stomach trouble/upset.
do u think this is so? comments, please. thanks.

Dogs that eat grass aren't necesarilly experiencing any kind of stomach distress. Actually, dogs eat grass because it helps their stomach digest their food easier!:) It's good for them to eat grass

Actually they will eat tender grass shoots to aid digestion but will eat long older grass blades to make them throw up when something is bothering their stomach.

it can mean that they have an upset stomech but not always
it may just mean that they are lacking certain nutrients in their diet

Hi,

When a dog eats grass know that it has some stomach trouble and would like to puke to cure thereby. I have seen myself dogs eating or chewing grass and afterwards vomiting so as to relive themselves from the trouble.


myLot reputation of 81/100. ranviruchauhan (606)  3 months ago

I am completely agree with drajibg. have a nice day!!

thanks.

Our vet told us that it was good for dogs to eat grass and here's some info that I never knew. They do eat it due to stomach upset and they will search and find the right kind to eat. There is a certain type of grass ( I forget the name of it) that they will find that they know helps their stomach. Nature is a wonderful thing huh?


myLot reputation of 99/100. moneymakingtoday (1630)   ranked 1,372 out of 9,682 in dogs  3 months ago

yes, nature taking charge, lol

maybe some dogs are on diet and prefer to eat greens? lol

ya i had heard of dogs eating grasses when they have stomach problem; but what i was surprised to see was dog eating bananas. for me i always felt dogs are obligatory carnivores. i don't know it that too was normal for them


myLot reputation of 99/100. moneymakingtoday (1630)   ranked 1,372 out of 9,682 in dogs  3 months ago

Hi there, well i dont have any knowledge why dog eating grass, before i also saw our dog eating grass i wonder why our dog do that but i dont let him eat the grass. I realy dont know if its safe for our dog to eat but i was learned from other comments that it helps and its fine to eat grass, so next time when i see our dog eating grass i dont mind it, keep on mylottingthumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. moneymakingtoday (1630)   ranked 1,372 out of 9,682 in dogs  3 months ago

they throw it up after chewing it, anyway. maybe they just like to eat it... just like humans, we like variety. lol

Grass is medicine for the dog. When my dog feels sick (perhaps stomach pain), he would look for grass and eat it, then throw it up later. He'd then feel better. Dogs know which types of grass could be eaten, and which are poisonous. So it's normal for them to eat grass.

thanks for the added info.

I do agree with you. I have seen our dog do this a couple of times. I think dogs by nature knows that there is something in the grass that will relieve them when they have stomach disorder. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. moneymakingtoday (1630)   ranked 1,372 out of 9,682 in dogs  3 months ago

myLot reputation of 96/100. jpso138 (3538)   ranked 794 out of 9,682 in dogs  3 months ago

Send my regards likewise. Thanks for the best response award. Your post is right on time since I just had a new dog. Its a puppy actually. When I was a I child, I also had a dog. Now that I have a child, I bought him one. Perhaps later on I will be seeing the dog eating grass.... happy

Dog eats grass? that is not surprise again. Sometime i give vegetables to my dog. And my dogs like to eat them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. moneymakingtoday (1630)   ranked 1,372 out of 9,682 in dogs  3 months ago

ur dog is on a very healthy lifestle.
i guess it all depends on how we train them with what food we give them. it is a matter of being used to this.
thanks!

They either have digestion issues or probably just want to "self medicate" to help their digestion system. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're having an upset stomach.

My dogs do that sometimes but no reason to be alarmed by it.

thanks for the nice input.
