Is there any benefit for dogs to eat grass?
1. Relieve constipation, high fiber content in plants helps stimulate intestinal transport. This means eating grass can be used to fight and prevent constipation in dogs. If your dog often has difficulty defecation or makes a whine when defecation, you can let your dog eat grass to relieve the discomfort symptoms of constipation.
2. Relieve stomach discomfort
When a dog eats too much or has a stomach discomfort after eating, it will choose to swallow some rough grass leaves and grass stems in large mouthfuls, which will cause the dog's throat to itch, irritate the contraction of the esophagus and stomach muscles, and it is easy to achieve the effect of vomiting.
3. Extract foreign objects
Dogs pick up things outside and eat them accidentally, accidentally ate some indigestion, and these things will accumulate in the dog's digestive parts. They will expel these difficult-to-digestible things from the body by eating grass.

If dogs suffer from pica, they will actually relieve them by eating grass. So, it can be seen that eating grass can prevent pica.
