My dog keeps eating grass and then throwing up. Is this normal behavior?

Answer

While it's not entirely uncommon for dogs to eat grass, especially if it's new growth, and sometimes vomit afterward, persistent or excessive grass eating followed by vomiting can indicate an underlying issue. It's often thought dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach to induce vomiting, but it can also be a sign of dietary deficiency, boredom, or simply an enjoyable texture. If your dog is eating a lot of grass, vomiting frequently, showing other signs of illness (lethargy, diarrhea, loss of appetite), or if this behavior has suddenly increased, it's wise to consult your vet. They can help rule out gastrointestinal problems or other health concerns. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
