Here, when a dog is eating grass they say that the animal has problems with its tummy or having pain in its intestines. So, they eat grass to ease its digestion. i have this theory that grass's fibers have helped any animal who eats it in a way that it can have a good bowel and good flow of fluid inside its tummy... i think its true cause my past dog pet did that too and after he felt well^^ Do you agree? Any idea? i will warmly welcome your comments!!^^

I never knew that till now, because of your topic. to further feed my curiosity on this, I have searched for it in the net and here is what I found. Why do dogs eat grass? A. Dogs commonly eat grass, and there are several explanations that have been offered for this behavior. One, wild canids (e.g., wolves and fox) eat all of an animal when they catch it. Since they eat many herbivores (plant-eating animals), they end up eating a lot of grasses and plants that were in the intestines of these animals. In addition, they have been known to eat certain berries and other plant material. Dogs then, may eat grass because, in reality, it is a normal part of their diet. Many times, dogs will vomit after eating grass. Did they eat grass to make them vomit? Or did they vomit because they ate grass? It is a mystery, but it seems that some dogs may eat vegetation when they have an upset stomach. The third reason - they just like it. Some dogs have certain species of grass or plant material that they will search out and eat. We know a beagle who can pick raspberries faster than his owner. In any case, grass eating is basically a normal behavior, and is not of concern unless your dog does it excessively. Nice to know this.Thanks.

thanks, so my theory has somewhat supports, yes i saw some dogs after eating grass or weeds they vomit maybe because these plants help them to eliminate phlegms too, but the main point here that grass is not bad for dogs but it helps too, so where will dogs be considered? as carnivore, herbivore or omnivore?..i thank you cause you give your time to have some search here, and you know i am planning to have it researched.VERY GOOD!!
