Why does my dog eat grass? Dogs are opportunistic scavengers and may eat grass just because it’s available and in their mind entirely edible. Wild dogs will also snack on berries, fruits and other vegetable matter. Dogs can also munch on grass when they have a bit of an upset digestive system, the grass in turn irritates the lining of the stomach and they often throw up after. If your dog does this occasionally I wouldn’t panic, though it would be a good thing to mention when you next see your vet. If however you are seeing a sharp increase in how often your dog eats grass you should consult your vet right away.
