Grass itself is not harmful, but the risk lies in chemicals, parasites, or contaminants the grass might contain.

How can I stop my dog from eating grass?

Ensure a balanced diet, provide alternative activities, and supervise outdoor time to limit grass eating.

Should I see a vet if my dog eats grass to vomit?

If your dog frequently eats grass to vomit, especially if accompanied by signs of distress, consult a veterinarian.
