dogs eating grass??

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.

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

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

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?

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 mylotting

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

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.

i don't know about dogs, but my cats love green grass...certain types of course. i've been told it helps with digestion, which is a stomach thing. just be sure the grass is good and not treated with poison.

When dogs eat grass they r usually experiencing an upset stomach, heartburn or even constipation or other similar things included in the digestive system. The animal dog, cat or other will pick out a piticular type of green for what ever ails them. Don't ask me how they know, they just do, it is something that ells them it will make it go away. Similar to a old wives tale only better, a good home remedy... REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV /CARE FOR YOUR DOG/ PET, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U..

I've heard the same thing. I'm not sure if there is any truth to theory or not. When my dogs eat grass they don't seem to be having stomach problems, but maybe that's why they eat it. I guess we could always ask the vet. They may know more.

Both dogs and cats eat grass this is done i beleive when something eaten did not settle rightand eating the grass causes them to "vomit" whatever caused the discomfort. I included cats just incase you were not aware of that if a cat is allowed to roam outside you may see them and it is a particular type of grass not just any grass is eaten by them

I have seen my dogs do this on few occasions. I usually don't interfere with their grass-eating time, I just let them do it, I guess it will make them feel better. I have seen my cats eat grass as well. When my cats and dogs regurgitate stuff or pass stool, sometimes you will see the pieces of grass in whatever came out of them. Eeewwww!

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.

Me too! I have seen our dogs eating grass.. I believe dogs have connection with nature and i think they have instincts of which they know how to treat themselves from illnesses. Maybe grass serves as a herbal medicine to them.

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.
