3 reason that can cause a dog to eat grass

|



Have you ever wondered why a dog eats grass sometimes? It might be like he just woke up from a nap and went to lawn and took a big chomp of grass without any reason. Actually there's no set time a dog decides to eat grass. But why do they eat grass? They are not herbivores then what is the reason behind this? So here are 3 major reasons which can cause your dog to eat grass.



Reason #01

Nausea/Stomach Upset


Some people propose that dogs might turn to eating grass when they don’t feel well as a way to make themselves vomit, and then feel better. Others dispute this idea, on the basis that dogs are not proven to be smart enough to decide to treat an upset stomach by eating grass. There have been many theories, but veterinarians seem to support the idea that dogs often eat grass due to gastrointestinal upset. Typically by gulping down large clumps of grass, the digestive system lining gets irritated by the blades and causes the dog to vomit. Nobody likes throwing up, but I think we can all admit it usually does make us feel a little better. Dogs that eat grass to cure their nausea generally have a sort of gastric reflux or inflammatory condition.
