Question
SOMETIMES MY LITTLE DOG GOES OUTSIDE AT OUR BACKYARD SHE SOMETIMES EATS GRASS WHY ?

Answer
Hello Silvia -

Dogs and cats eat grass to settle their upset stomach. It's natures antacid! When they have indigestion they eat the grass and it helps to settle their stomach and will sometimes cause them to vomit to allow the bacteria to pass.

This is very common and very natural.

I hope this information has helped you and your pet.

Thank you and best wishes to you and your pet.
