Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?

The age-old question of 'why do dogs eat grass?'. Here's the simple answer... we don't completely know why dogs eat grass.

Again, short answer... it's probably not a huge deal. BUT, we will look at some potential problems from eating grass and discuss how to reduce it. Next time your pup eats grass, you just might know why 😉 Links to Sources/Research on Why Dogs Eat Grass https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17675815/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240398429_Reduction_in_grass_eating_behaviours_in_the_domestic_dog_Canis_familiaris_in_response_to_a_mild_gastrointestinal_disturbance https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168159107001827 http://barf-raw-feeding.fr/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WhydogogsandcatseatgrassGrassVetMed2008-2.pdf Please review and subscribe!!
