  1. Why Do Dogs Eat Grass Most of the Time? SEMINOLE KENNELS Dog behavior can puzzle and confuse owners at times. One such behavior is that of the dog’s penchant for grass. A dog is, strictly speaking, not a confirmed carnivore so if he eats grass that is not too difficult to understand. Here are a few reasons why dogs eat grass.

  2. Pica disorder The sheepadoodlepuppy might have what is known as pica disorder. This may be due to some nutritional deficiency. Feeding him high fiber food may resolve this issue.

  3. Not feeling well A healthy sheepadoodlepuppymay sample some grass just out of curiosity but when it eats grass most of the time it may indicate that he is not feeling well and eats grass in order to vomit. However, this is not a definite indicator. Dogs may eat grass and will not throw up and it may not be a sign that they are unwell.

  4. Dogs may need fiber Dogs may be wiser than they look. Dogs too need fiber and eating grass may be one way of meeting their fiber requirement and to improve digestion. On the other hand, he could be munching on grass just for fun. Provide him a variety of fiber rich foods and the sheepadoodle puppy will not be inclined to eat grass most of the time.

  5. Their ancestors used to eat grass It is not just pets who have a fondness for grass. Even dogs in the wild have a go at grass directly or ingest it when they eat intestines of their prey. It is an instinctive behavior so there is nothing much to worry about if your pet feels like being a sheep at times.

  6. Eating grass makes them feel happy Dogs have not put on record their feelings but one can assume that a playfully frisky puppy will munch on grass because it makes him feel happy. However, even if he eats too much he cannot get high on it so there is no reason to worry. Look on the plus side. Grass may help keep his teeth and gums healthy. If he throws up afterwards, his stomach gets cleaned.
