Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?
3. Bloating
Mammals, including humans and dogs, generate gas when they are digesting their food. This gas will usually just pass out through the body through the mouth or at the other end, but this is not always the case. If the gas does not pass out of the digestive system, for whatever reason, it can lead to bloating and this can be quite uncomfortable.

There are various remedies that people can use to relieve bloating, but dogs cannot do this. Instead, they will often turn to eating grass, which will usually do just the trick. As the grass causes them to vomit, the gases are also purged, providing your dog with relief.
