Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed

My dog keeps eating grass even when I try to stop her. She isn't throwing up though. I don't know what to do or if it's something important. Please help.

If this is a new thing then it may be that Izzy does have an upset stomach. If Izzy has always done this I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If it is new then I would monitor and if any other symptoms develop bring Izzy to a veterinarian.

Otherwise, I would make sure you keep up with every 6 months - 1 year stool sample checks looking for intestinal parasites.
