Dogs like to eat grass from time to time.

Most of the time they have to vomit shortly afterwards.

Only in rare cases is a visit to the vet necessary.

Munich – As soon as the sun comes out again, walking the dog is even nicer than it already is.

If the four-legged friend is then still well trained and can run free, that is one more reason for dog and human to be happy.

The control that dog owners then lose is often used by the animals to eat a round of grass.

Shortly thereafter, they choke and spit out the blades of grass.

This can have several causes.

Landtiere.de reveals why dogs eat grass.*

Dogs like to romp around on a walk and sometimes run far ahead or dawdle a bit.

That's not a problem if dog fans still keep an eye on their darlings.

The dog also likes to use its freedom to take a closer look at blades of grass.

He quickly bites off a few blades of grass from the roadside and nibbles them open with relish.

He actually does it mostly because he likes it.

However, if dog owners observe that their dog eats grass regularly and in large quantities, they should pay attention.

Because in addition to the taste, there are other reasons for eating a lot of grass.
