Does eating grass often harm the health of dogs?

Dogs are omnivores, and eating grass occasionally will not have any adverse effects on the body, but we can't let dogs eat grass often, mainly for the following reasons:

1. Many grasslands are fertilized or sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, rat poison, etc. If you are not sure whether there is a chemical substance in the grass in a certain area, try not to let the dog eat it, otherwise the dog may have poisoning symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions and blistering after eating it.

2. Some grasses have hard grass awns, and there are many small thorns on the grass awns, which may stick to the dog's throat or teeth, or may stick to the dog's hair, causing the dog's hair to knot. If the owner finds that the dog has been chewing since he came back from going out, he should open the dog's mouth in time to check whether there is a foreign body stuck in it.

3. There are often more parasite eggs and bacteria on the grassland. Dogs often eat grass, which is easy to infect parasites in the body, disturb intestinal flora, lead to diarrhea and listlessness in dogs, and seriously affect the health of dogs.

Second, what should dogs do if they like eating grass?

The reason why dogs like to eat grass may be that they lack some trace elements in their bodies. Owners need to pay attention to enrich the dog's diet and feed some pet nutrition cream or multivitamin tablets to supplement the dog's nutrition.

In addition, dogs may eat grass because of indigestible things accumulated in their stomachs. The owner can feed the dog some probiotics or vegetables, carrots, apples and so on. Promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance gastrointestinal digestion.

Finally, every time the dog eats grass, the owner should control it in time and shout loudly, so that the dog can realize that eating grass is wrong and get rid of this habit as soon as possible.

Warm reminder: If your dog often eats grass, you must pay attention to regularly deworming the dog inside and outside. If dogs are found to have vomiting and diarrhea after eating grass, it is necessary to consider that it may be caused by drug poisoning. It is recommended to send it to the pet hospital for examination in time.
