6. Is It the Taste?

Dogs have six times fewer taste buds than we do. So, it may be that they either don’t need as many as we do to experience certain tastes - because they have a much keener sense of smell, or it could be that they simply don’t feel flavors as intensely as we do. So, they may eat grass because they like the taste of it, the texture, the smell, or all of the above.
