When He Eats Grass

Grass isn’t very healthy to eat as a snack, but there are two main reasons why your dog keeps eating it. The first is to use it as a purgative, and help him go to the toilet. It may sound gross, but it’s good for his digestion!

The second reason is, quite simply, he enjoys it! Even though it doesn’t add any vitamins or nutrients, scientists believe that there are evolutionary reasons why he enjoys eating the grass in parks.
