Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?
4. Nutrition
It is a common misconception that dogs are carnivores. Instead, they are omnivores, meaning that they need to get vegetable matter in their diet in addition to meat. This also means that they may not always get the nutrition they need if they are fed a high-protein diet. One way for them to get this extra nutrition is by going out in the backyard to eat some grass.
This is not always the case because even dogs that already have plenty of vegetables in their diet will still eat grass occasionally. If your dog does appear to be eating grass more than is normal, you might need to consider changing their food.
