My dog was just eating grass so that’s why I searched this

Dietary is usually the answer, it’s not always the case, I’m not a vet certified life experiences having trained over 500 dogs most through rescue rehoming, over the years one major problem I found is food, anal gland problems in dogs could be food trouble, I’ve found that it’s started by keeping a dog that’s locked up to long not able to relieve themselves, have the exact case with are rescue Lab Walt, food change helped wasn’t the complete fix, I do believe over time having this problem he’s taught himself to eat grass for relief now he just eats wet fresh grass especially in the morning, I would love to know his former owner and lock them up until the shit all over themselves, if you don’t have the time to take care of a pets needs, get a goldfish. Actually dietary is part of the answer, if you’re dog is getting proper care it’s usually the food, I believe it’s proper fiber ratio to loose of stool possibly doesn’t push everything through correctly, fasting your pet a day each week is my best remedy, works every time unless you love high vet bills. I believe as humans we think keeping pets on a meal plan is best, this isn’t their original design. My wife thought I was crazy fasting problem health issues, it works and we need more research into this. It’s not the quantity it’s the quality of the diet, there lies the problem.

I feel it's none of those reasons. My dog is still in the puppy stage, and I think she does it to entertain herself. When she is playing chase, and gets the zoomies is when she does it. She hasn't gotten sick I know of, despite the fact that she appears to eat a lot. I'm going to start taking out on a else?

My dog just threw up some grass. Hadn't eaten

I think the dogs eat the grass as a vitamin. It was rare but my dog used to eat grass sometimes... Maybe a hand full every month. It was rare.

Very true. Our dog eats grass but we found out it had parasites. We sorted that out with medication.

I give my dog a lot of rawhide I know it's not really great for her but I'm sick and she needs to go out everyday and sometimes I just don't have the energy or I'm in too much pain to take her for a walk so I give her extra chewing things to help her with her energy and anxiety. But lately she's been eating a lot of grass and throwing up I'm wondering if perhaps she has rawhides undigested in her intestinal tract it really worries me. I'm not going to give her a rawhide anymore

*My dog is incredibly picky about his food!! He won't eat hard dog food or even the wet chunky food!! Only ground! I have the scoot a way chewable fiber chews for him too but he won't eat them! As far as treats he likes the gravy milk bones so at least those are hard but it's tough bc he has always had anal gland issues since the day we rescued him! There aren't enough options for dogs to eat and it's sad! And the options available for more homemade style foods .. they're incredibly expensive!! What can I do to help my pup??! It's tough!*

My dog is eating grass right now ! 😬😬😬

My parents keep feeding their doggie table scraps. Our bodies can barely digest it, much less a dog.

[bobbylayfette]

I notice my dog doing it and hes just fine he doesn't throw up or anything i mean sometimes he does but hes a dip so

[dimensionbrothers]

Do they do it to purposely vomit? Cause that’s what my dogs doing

[yishaithegift]

My dog did eat grass and right afterwards threw up the chicken I had just fed her.

Vet in title, check . Guy wearing stethoscope, check... must be true

[silkethirteen]

My dog just 🤢 🤮 because she's been eating grass. It was yellow 💛 bile and grass mix.

[joeyp]

I find it hard to believe that dogs know that grass is indigestible and that eating it will push out whatever is bad in their stomach. Is this a troll or fr?

[MrBlackbutang]

Yeast infection and dark wax inside the ears

[ghettopressproductions]

It also can be because they ate a dead mouse the cats killed

[tosinoluvsu]

I'm pretty sure eating grass just makes them feel better my chihuahua stomach hurt but he at grass for a whole day the next he was perfectly fine this video is just promoting their dumb website
