Why does my dog eat grass and also vomit?
A dog that frequently eats grass and vomits may have intestinal foreign objects, indigestion, or a trace-element deficiency. Grooming ingests loose fur and other items, and grass triggers vomiting to expel them. Eating too fast or raiding the trash for spoiled food causes indigestion, with grass used to empty the stomach. Long-term single diets cause pica (eating grass, plastic, wall paint), so diversify the diet.
Why does my dog eat grass?
Dogs eat grass for several reasons. An upset stomach may prompt grass-eating to stimulate the stomach or throat and induce vomiting; pet probiotics can help. A deficiency in trace elements causes pica, leading the dog to chew grass and other objects, so keep the diet balanced. Curiosity can also drive grass-eating, as dogs explore new things by licking.
