Why does my dog eat grass or other items

Commonly, dogs will eat grass or leaves because of nutritional deficiencies or they have an upset stomach. They might eat the grass so they will vomit and clear out their digestive track. They also might be stressed, bored or anxious.

Some dogs have issues particularly in the morning due to potential anxiety at night. It is very common for a dog that believes that he is in charge of protecting the family to be unsettled in the evenings and to wander around the house as if he were on duty during wartime. Some dogs will eat will inappropriate objects due to nutritional insufficiencies or the dog’s early genetic and environmental factors.

Depending on the cause of the behaviour, there are two easy potential fixes. The first one is to use a top quality vitamin supplement in order to potentially alleviate the nutritional reason for the behavior. The second is to check with your veterinarian and then perhaps give you pup an antacid such as Pepcid Ac. Once you’ve cleared up the underlying nutritional issue, you can address the behavioural issue.
