I. Will it hurt the body when a dog eats grass?
Dogs are omnivores, and occasionally eating some grass will not have any adverse effects on the body, but we can’t let dogs eat grass often, mainly for the following reasons:

Poisoning symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and foaming may occur.
2. Some grasses have hard grass awns, and there are many small thorns on the grass awns, which may stick to the dog’s throat or teeth, or stick to the dog’s hair, causing the dog knotted hair. If the owner finds that the dog has been chewing after coming back from going out, he should open the dog’s mouth in time to check whether there is any foreign matter stuck in it.
