The result of taking the dog out for a walk ...

The shovel officials must have experienced that when taking the dog out for a walk, they occasionally eat grass! And they all ate very happily, more focused than eating at home. Can dogs eat grass or not? Why do some dogs vomit after eating grass? Is it harmful to dogs?

"Why do dogs eat grass? Let's talk about it.

First of all, eating grass by dogs is not pica, that is to say, it is "sick". There are many reasons that cause dogs to eat grass, and the most common reasons are these three:

1. The nutrition of dogs' daily food is defective: this often happens to dogs who eat home-made dog food. Because the shovel officer has no professional nutrition knowledge, the dog is likely to lack some nutrients, so the dog can only supplement it by eating grass.

2. Simply chewing and playing with the dog's energy is a natural attraction for dogs. When the dog's energy can't be released or he is bored, he will also chew and play with grass.

3. Dogs are used to grinding their teeth with grass when they were young: grass is a plant with high fiber content, which meets the needs of grinding their teeth, especially for young dogs. If dogs have the habit of eating grass when they are young, they may continue to eat grass even when they are adults.

is it harmful for dogs to eat grass?

talking about grass alone is actually harmless. After grass is eaten, dogs can digest it, even if vomiting is an individual phenomenon. If vomiting is not frequent, only once or twice occasionally, there is generally no big health problem. However, some species of grass awn need to be careful, and dogs may get stuck in their throats or teeth after eating it, which may cause harm to their health. Shovel officials should also remember!

In addition, many grasslands now use chemicals

such as pesticides. Most of these drugs will cause dog poisoning, which is very dangerous and may be fatal < P >. Moreover, there may be parasites in the grassland, including ectoparasites and endoparasites, which are mostly infected to dogs through the grassland environment.

why do you need to give dogs regular internal parasites?

Some shovel officials don't quite understand that dogs are more active at home and in small groups every day. "Why do you need to give dogs regular internal parasites?" In fact, many dogs like to pull loquat in the grass, and many parasite eggs exist in the feces. It happens that dogs also like to smell other dogs' loquat (smell), which will cause many parasitic infections. < P > It is impossible to insist that dogs should be kept away from the grass, which also deprives dogs of the active days when they like to play and yearn for freedom, and the grass is hidden. It's very good to "scatter happiness" on the ground. It's difficult to see what's in the grass with human vision, which may bring some dangers. When the shovel officer takes the dog to play in the field, he still needs to pay more attention. Although eating grass by dogs is not a disease, due to the existence of drugs and parasites, we still ask the shovel officers to stop eating grass in time.

It is necessary to consider the problem of excessive energy or improper diet.

Vegetables such as broccoli, celery and radish cooked in clear water can be used to replace the habit of eating grass by dogs, which are all edible by dogs. Of course, Zhen Zhen also suggested that shovel officials can choose natural food that dogs like and have balanced nutrition. For example, the selection of natural and high-quality ingredients for the exploration series of pure ingredients for puppies and adult dogs is a good taste that dogs like!
