The Perfect Pup - A podcast by Devin Stagg from Pupford

Categories:

The age-old question of 'why do dogs eat grass?'. Here's the simple answer... we don't completely know why dogs eat grass. There are some theories and ideas as to why, which we will discuss in this episode. And of course, the next question is, is it okay for my dog to 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!!
