Owners can become concerned if their dog eats grass. Grass eating
can be just a simple habit or possibly the sign of a stomach irritation
such as Gastritis. Studies have shown that dogs eating grass is an
instinctive process. Eating grass can stimulate or induce vomiting. Grass
can in fact help to prevent damage to the bowel as grass is effective in
wrapping around any foreign bodies in the stomach thus limiting the risk
of damage to the stomach form any sharp or jagged edges.
