The next time your pooch decided to munch down on grass, just watch her carefully. As long as she isn't going crazy she should be okay, and you can always give her a chew toy instead to see if that helps. Here are some great reasons why she might have the grass munchies!

Different dogs may eat grass for different reasons. But understanding why your dog does can help you address the behavior.

1. It’s tasty
Your dog eats every last morsel he can find under your dinner table after a meal, so why stop there?

Prevention: Some people find that the behavior stops after they switch to a high-fiber dog food.

2. He’s bored
In some cases, eating grass is just something to do to pass the time.

Prevention: Sometimes the solution can be as simple as providing a chew toy as an alternative or dedicating yourself to providing a consistent exercise routine.

3. Stomach distress
Some experts believe that grass is a form of self-medication. When your dog has tummy troubles, he turns to grass for relief.

Prevention: In some cases, the stomach distress can be a sign of something more serious, like gastric reflux or inflammatory bowel disease, so it’s worth calling your veterinarian for advice.

4. Still not sure?
Relax. Many veterinarians consider grass eating a normal dog behavior.

You can help protect your grass eater by using only non-toxic products on your own lawn.

If you’re afraid that your dog may be suffering from poisoning caused by lawn treatments, call the ASPCA’s 24/7 Animal Poison Control hotline at (888) 426-4435.
