What Do Dog’s Eat And Why Do They Like Grass?

We all know dogs love to eat everything. Put it in your dog’s path and he’ll/ she’ll will gobble it up, whether it be table scraps, garbage … or grass.

What do dogs eat? Dogs are primarily meat-eaters, although they like to eat meat, they can also survive on a well-balanced vegetarian diet. Cats, on the other hand, may die without animal protein. Like all living creatures, dogs need a combination of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water in a balanced diet that provides enough calories to meet their daily needs.

Have you ever wondered why your dog likes grass? There have been many explanations to their enjoyment of eating grass. Primarily, dogs are descendant’s from wolves and foxes, when they would hunt they would eat their entire prey. Since they consumed many plant-eating animals, they consumed a lot of plants and even berries found in the stomach and intestines of their prey.

Interestingly, carnivores tend to eat the stomach and its contents first, so it’s likely that dogs may eat grass because they like it and it was once part of their normal diet.

Then there is the great mystery: Do dogs eat grass to make themselves vomit? Or do they vomit because they eat the grass? Most veterinarians believe that dogs eat grass simply because they like it, and vomiting just naturally follows. When dogs eat grass, the grass acts as an irritant and causes vomiting. However, they may not be smart enough to use grass as a medicine when they have an upset stomach. That said, one of us has seem a dog with burrs stuck in his throat pounce on a Ficus plant and voraciously start scoffing great scads of leaves until he threw up, presumably in an attempt to dislodge the foreign material.

Some veterinarians believe that dogs eat grass because their prepared diets are lacking in greens and so they eat grass. And as some support of this contention, dogs sometimes seek out a particular variety of grass to nibble.

Your dog’s habit of eating grass is normal behavior and you need not be concerned about it. Take care that your pet does not eat grass that has been treated with fertilizer, pesticides or herbicides. This could make your dog feel sick  or could  even be a worse problems for your dog.
