Dogs, like cats, sometimes eat grass. Animals are especially interested in couch grass, which dogs swallow whole.
Just like cats, it is necessary for cleaning the stomach, helps with constipation, and other digestive problems. Sometimes dogs eat grass just because they like the taste.
Experts have explained which herbs you can treat your pet with and when you should exercise caution.
What to feed a dog
As already mentioned, animals eat couch grass. They mostly choose the vegetation themselves during their walks.
In winter, you can grow oats, wheat or wheatgrass in a tray.
Is it possible to give grass from the street?
If it is vegetation that grows in the countryside, forest or somewhere else, then there will be no problems.
In the city, vegetation can not only be oversaturated with pollutants, but also with waste products of other animals, not always healthy. So the dog can catch an infection or acquire helminths.
When to go to the vet
If the dog eats grass rarely, there is no reason to panic. If the pet tries to pinch at least a little greenery during each walk, perhaps the diet is incorrect. You can also suspect a gastrointestinal disease.
In this case, it makes sense to seek help from specialists.
