Did You Know? Dogs Eat Grass Because They Like It!

Dogs eat grass because they like it

Love the smell of freshly mown grass? Ever wonder why your dog sometimes munches on grass? Think about how acute a dog’s sense of smell is. While human beings have about 5 million odor-sensitive cells in their noses, a dog can have up to 220 million of these cells. So the smell of grass must be overwhelmingly delicious for dogs. And why do they like to eat it? There are many theories about this, but the most widely accepted is that dogs eat grass simply because they like the taste. As omnivores, they appreciate meat and vegetarian food, and sometimes they just like a little “salad.”

I never thought of them liking the taste, I always they they ate it when they had "tummy aches" to make them feel better.

Emma, I believe that's a common belief, and while I don't doubt it, this article clearly shows that there are other reasons!
