What’s with the dog eating grass?
1. the dog is bored!
This is because woofers do not manage their physical energy properly. When woofers feel overstretched, they will display compulsive behaviors to burn off their energy, such as tearing or chewing something – grass (note the noun) – incessantly. So take your pet for outdoor walks often!
2、Have parasites
3、Deficiency of vitamins or lack of trace elements
The way to check is to see if it eats anything else besides grass, such as poop, or rocks and dirt.
4. Gluttony
Dogs eat grass is instinctive oh don’t worry. Because in ancient times the dog did not have the opportunity to enjoy carefully prepared food, must be in the weeds, plant roots and stems to choose. And now domesticated dogs go to eat grass is not necessarily a health problem, most because the dog gluttony. For dogs grass itself won’t hurt them, but some grass is sprayed with chemicals like herbicides or pesticides. These can be downright blistering for woofers. So if you’re not sure if a particular patch of grass has been sprayed with chemicals, it’s best to stay away. Of course, there are some grass plants that are non-toxic themselves.
Safe alternatives to grasses
Feeding your dog fresh carrots, peeled parsnips or lettuce dogs can be a complete substitute for grass, these vegetables have a similar texture to grass in terms of their organization. Sweet potatoes, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, peeled potatoes, and peas can all be eaten. Fruits can eat some apples, bananas oh~
There is no research that proves that dogs eating grass is a problem that owners need to worry about, but considering that dogs eating grass may eat herbicides, it is not recommended that pooper scoopers take their woofers to grassy fields where safety is not certain Oh~!
