7. Is It Because of an Upset Tummy?

An idea that’s been floated for decades is that dogs eat grass to alleviate stomach cramps. According to some veterinarians, it makes them vomit, and vomiting helps relieve some of the symptoms of an upset stomach. The trouble with this hypothesis is that few dogs vomit after they eat grass and even those that do don’t all the time. Surely, if a dog ate it specifically for that purpose, it would go on eating until it would vomit, even if it took time and effort.
