10 of Your Most Burning Questions About Dogs Answered by an Expert

There's no need to worry; many dogs eat grass from time to time. No one really knows why, but there are probably several reasons. Your dog could be self-medicating because they don't feel well, and one study found that if dogs seemed to be acting ill, they were more likely to vomit after eating grass. But most dogs that ate grass had nothing wrong with them at all. Wolves tend to eat grass from time to time, which they could be doing to treat intestinal worms. Some dogs like particular kinds of grass, some like grass at different times — like after rain — and some dogs just randomly eat grass. Grass won't usually hurt your dog, but if the grass has been sprayed with pesticides and fertilizers, this could be harmful. If your dog seems ill after eating grass, or if they suddenly start eating a lot of grass, take them to a vet.

Do they take their food to the same place together, or do they prefer being further away from each other? Do they go to the same places all the time, or do they change locations? If you moved their bowls to where they seem to prefer to eat, would that help? Maybe they just want a little privacy while they eat.
