15 Quirky Dog Behaviors That Will Make You Laugh

8. Eating Grass

Grass-eating might seem like one of the more odd habits dogs have, but it’s surprisingly common. There are a few possible reasons for this behavior, and it’s not always cause for concern. Some dogs munch on grass to help soothe an upset stomach. It’s believed that the rough texture of grass can trigger vomiting, which might be their way of dealing with digestive discomfort. But it’s not just about feeling unwell. Grass could also aid digestion by adding a bit of fiber to their diet, especially if they’re not getting enough from their regular food. And then there’s the simplest explanation: some dogs just enjoy the taste or texture of grass, like cows! For them, it might be like snacking on a crunchy salad. Occasional grass-eating is not a cause for concern but it's good to keep an eye out if you think your dog is enjoying his cow-like tendencies a bit too much.
