Sometimes when you take your dog for a walk on the grass, once you put the leash there, you chew the grass with great enthusiasm. Dogs eat grass owners do not need to panic, look at the following article you will know why dogs will eat grass. Of course, the pesticide grass or do not have dog contact with it.

A. Dogs generally eat grass, why? There are several reasons.

1. wild dogs such as wolves and foxes will hunt small animals, these small animals are usually herbivorous, so when wild dogs eat these small animals, also eat these animals' intestines of a large number of grasses and plants.

2. it is generally known from research that dogs eat certain types of berries and plants. 3.

Some dogs just love to eat grasses or certain types of plants, like Miguel, who will find raspberries before his owner does. So why do dogs eat grass? It is part of their food.

After eating grass vomiting: Dogs will most likely vomit after eating grass, whether it is because they want to vomit to eat grass, or because they will vomit after eating grass, this is like Mr. Chicken eggs, or Mr. Egg chicken is generally a mystery. However, it seems that some dogs do go looking for grass to eat when their stomach is upset.

Third, this is the normal behavior of dogs.

Generally speaking, eating grass is a basic and normal behavior of dogs, unless it eats too much grass, otherwise, it is not too worried. Dogs eating grass is an instinct. There are two main reasons: one is to cure the disease because the dog's body itself has its own he into the function of vitamin C, so the dog does not need to involve additional vitamin C, but sometimes the dog's function will fail, because the loss of this function, can not produce their own vitamin C, that will make them reluctant to fight the virus to reduce the epidemic power

In addition, when dogs are not feeling well, they will go to the roots of plants that contain salicylic acid, which is also the raw material for aspirin production. The second reason is that it tastes good.

Most dogs in the modern city do not necessarily eat grass because they have health problems, but because they only eat feeds that are not nutritious and tasty, like instant noodles.

To satisfy their appetite, they will swallow almost anything that tastes good. Grass to their aroma, with a strong taste, and readily available, why not try it? In ancient times, dogs did not have the opportunity to enjoy carefully prepared treats and had to rummage among the weeds, roots, and stems of plants to find their targets.

Dogs sometimes enjoy certain green foods, just as we occasionally dream of sizzling mashed potatoes. Dogs are omnivores, and eating grass is a nutritional necessity for dogs. Although dog food already provides complete nutrition, dogs instinctively enjoy a regular grass "salad". Some dogs who rarely eat grass will chew on the grass when they feel sick as if it contains some kind of emetic substance.

Countermeasure: Keep the grass clean.

The grass itself won't hurt your dog, but dirt or chemicals in the grass can be dangerous. If the grass is unusually turquoise, it is most likely some kind of chemical has been used and the dog must be told to avoid it. Some veterinarians believe that grass-loving dogs need more fiber in their food and recommend feeding vegetables mixed with meat.
