Dogs Eating Grass Parasite Elimination

Why Dogs Eat Grass

Another hypothesis is that dogs eat grass to help them get rid of intestinal parasites . However, this is contradictory since dogs might get infested with parasites after eating parasite eggs from the grass and soil.

The leading hypothesis is that grass eating supports the elimination of intestinal parasites , a behavior observed across carnivore species in the wild, rather than indicating nausea or illness [4].
