Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?

Listen Later

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 😉
