Question
  
  Hi,
      Why do dogs eat grass?



         Thanks,

Answer
Hi Chrisite!

Dogs normally eat grass for a few reasons.

1. lacking something in their diet (ie vitamins or trace minerals)

2. looking for some roughage in the diet

3. it tastes good

4. sometimes it helps with an upset stomach

Hope that helps!
