Why does nobody talk about dogs eating grass and is it actually dangerous?

It’s wild how many dog owners have seen this but nobody ever asks why. Like, my pup isn’t sick, he’s not starving, yet every other day he’s munching on grass like it’s a salad bar. Is this normal? Or am I missing something obvious?

I’ve read mixed advice—some say it’s instinct, others swear it’s a sign of a nutritional gap. My vet shrugged and said “dogs do weird stuff,” which isn’t exactly reassuring. Anyone else’s dog pull this stunt? Should I be worried or just let him enjoy his weird little snack?

First time posting here but I've been wondering about this for ages - my wife's dog eats grass all the time when they go out on walks, and she's always worried she'll choke or get sick from it, but whenever we've checked on the dog after, it's like nothing happened.

first time posting but, my old dog used to eat grass like it was a salad bar and then throw up in the middle of the living room like it was her life’s work. *(edited)*

I've asked my neighbor for the millionth time why her dog eats grass and she just gives me that 'you don't understand' look. Apparently it's a canine mystery that only the dogs of Instagram get to solve.

First time posting but honestly it’s just ONE of those things that feels normal once you’ve seen it a bunch *(edited)*

Finally, a thread about something that's been puzzling me since i had a yard. can confirm it's an epidemic among my dogs too, but have you guys ever tried to figure out when it starts and what triggers it?

AZRS Team @andi.dela cruz97 ·

Oh wow, Liesel! So you’ve seen this happen too? Do you know if your dog only eats grass when they’re sick or just randomly lol

Oh man, my old dog used to do this all the time and I was convinced he was secretly a cow or something. one time he ate half my neighbor's lawn and then threw up on my shoes like it was his way of saying "thanks for the salad."

Oh man, what do you think he was about to say before getting cut off?
