Dogs are actually omnivores, but grass contains a chemical which induces vomiting, which helps removes toxic in your dog's body if it ate something thats harmful to them :smile:I have always wondered why do dogs eat grass?
Dogs are actually carnivores and generally just eat grass to either throw up or because it tastes good. It always comes out looking the same way it went in, indicating that they haven't derived any nutrients from it whatsoever. Which also indicates that they aren't omnivores.Dogs are actually omnivores, but grass contains a chemical which induces vomiting, which helps removes toxic in your dog's body if it ate something thats harmful to them :smile:
Im not very sure actually, cause i think i read it in one of the many books im reading up on. Im getting a pup next month, and so ive been doing lots of research. Sorry about that mistake :S but i've heard and read about people feeding veggies in their dog's diet and they doing fine, so i thought they could do well with both. I feel more enlightened too after finding this website. ThanksI think you got your wording wrong! Dogs are CARNIVORES, and some dogs will eat grass for no reason at all, not necessarilly because they have a upset stomach.
What you hear about is people feeding their dogs processed veggies. Dogs are incapable of digesting and extracting nutrients from whole fresh vegetables. That by itself says they have no nutritional need for them. My dogs haven't eaten a veggie or fruit in almost 8 years and are healthy. My 5yo Great Dane, Thor, has never eaten a fruit or veggie in his life.but i've heard and read about people feeding veggies in their dog's diet and they doing fine, so i thought they could do well with both.

and man, those pictures are woah. we dont see such things around in my country.
Titus went outside one day and saw all of the cows behind the house eating grass, (I think he looks, walks, runs and plays like a cow) and he decided that day that he was going to do that too. Now he will randomly go outside and eat grass for the heck of it.I think you got your wording wrong!
