Why is My Dog Eating Grass?

If your dog eats grass and vomits, you're not alone - it's common and usually not dangerous. Dogs may do it out of boredom, instinct, or to soothe their stomachs. It could also signal a dietary need like more fiber. Try more exercise or a high-fiber diet, and always ensure the grass is free of pesticides. If it's frequent, talk to your vet to rule out any underlying issues.

Answers to Your Most Common Questions

Our weather is unpredictable, and even in the winter, it doesn't get below freezing. Flea, tick, and mosquito activity decreases with cooler weather but requires freezing temperatures over a sustained number of days for them to die. Intestinal parasites are a year-round occurrence, and heartworm prevention also keeps these parasites under control.
