Owning pets involves a lot of different responsibilities, but not all of them are troublesome. If you enjoy working with your hands, the need to provide your dogs with shelter can be a positive pleasure.

It is common to see dogs who like eating grass. Many owners worry when their dogs eat grass; however, in most cases there is nothing to worry about. But what are the reasons for dogs eating grass?
Canines are opportunistic scavengers, which means that they eat a variety of foods to meet their nutritional requirements. Dog’s ancestors used to eat their prey completely, including bones, viscera and the grass inside the stomach of some plant-eating animals. In wildlife, some canines also eat fruits and vegetables as part of their diets. Even though some dogs eat plants, they do not possess the enzymes needed to digest vegetable matter. If your dog eats some grass now and then it is probably due to his/her instincts and you have nothing to worry about.
Sometimes your dog may feel bloated or have an upset stomach. In these cases, your dog may eat grass as a natural remedy to relief the upset stomach. Eating grass may help your dog vomit and, therefore, alleviate a stomach problem. If your dog eats grass and then vomits you should keep a close eye on she/he since there might be an underlying disease affecting her/his health. If your dog vomits more than once in a 24-hour period you should take him/her to the vet because this can be an indicator of sickness.
