Mexico. – There are several reasons why your puppy might eat grass, one is because of his instinct, others that speak to his behavior or his state of health.
Some of the instinctive reasons are:
By indigestion: Dogs, like the wolves from which they descend, eat grass to induce vomiting and eliminate intestinal toxins or parasites
To nourish himself: Even if his diet is balanced, your dog eats grass to get fiber or nutrients that are missing in his diet
Other times it is due to behavioral reasons such as:
Boredom: If your pet doesn’t get enough physical or mental activity, they may do it out of boredom or anxiety
Stress: In this practice you can find a way to calm down
For taste: Some tenderloins just like the taste
There are also health-related reasons:
Inflammatory bowel disease, which can cause digestive upset and diarrhea, which can lead the animal to ingest herbs to relieve symptoms
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, which affects digestion and absorption of nutrients, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies
Intestinal parasites, which can cause digestive upset and cause the animal to look for ways to get rid of them
