As we all know, dogs, which are domesticated by wolves, are carnivorous, but when we take dogs out, we often find that they have a special liking for outdoor grass, and some dogs even regard eating grass as a habit. In fact, eating grass will not cause too much damage to the dog's body, but most pet owners don't know why dogs like to eat grass. Let's discuss it below.
Reason 1: Relieve stomach discomfort
When a dog eats too much or has a stomach discomfort after eating, it will choose to swallow some rough grass leaves and grass stems in large mouthfuls, which will cause the dog's throat to itch, irritate the contraction of the esophagus and stomach muscles, and it is easy to achieve the effect of vomiting.
Reason 2: Treat it as a snack after meal
Although dogs do not ruminate like cattle and sheep, they may still eat fresh grass as a snack after meal. Most green grass has no negative effects on the dog's body, but can help the dog digest and defecate. If your dog has tasted this sweetness, it will often eat grass as a snack.
Reason 3: Grass contains the nutrition that the dog needs for the body. If your dog has the habit of eating grass, you should consider adding some plants or vegetables to its food, because this may be the treatment it is taking for some diseases of the body. And the dog is not as picky as a cat, it is easy to accept the vegetables and fruits you add to its food.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that every time a period of time, the dog's diet should change. The owner slowly changes the nutritional content in the dog's food and try to allow the dog to reasonably intake more nutrients from the food, which will be very helpful to improve the dog's physical immunity.
