If your dog grazes only occasionally, then it sounds like you have a grass gourmand on your hands, and there is nothing to worry about. However, if your dog is eating grass excessively, they’re likely feeling nauseous and may even start vomiting soon, so it is a good idea to contact your veterinarian.
Grass-eating habits can sometimes lead to trouble. Dogs can inadvertently ingest intestinal parasites along with the grass. Also, too much grass in their stomach can get stuck and may require surgery to remove it.
