I thought the same thing. Some people say that dogs eat grass when they are sickQuote:

bnormal, your dogs are beautiful! I just love dobies.
Angus & Roxey usually only eat grass when they have upset tummies. But Huney just seems to like it:) In the kennel the grass is tall & she'll go in there and get a bite or two and come back out!
beanie eats grass all the time. he just did it today....he doesn't throw it up. he's like a cow. he goes outside uses the bathroom then eats grass.you can even feed it to him like a horse.
ok...Dogs eat grass, because:
1. They feel something is wrong with their body (sickness,aching, ect.), so they eat grass and it either makes the dog throw up or digest the problem. After wards they feel much better, grass makes it "smoother"
2. They are hungry, or like grass
3. lonley or want to play
Take it from a second year vet :)
