My dog eats grass after eating. Is she having stomach discomfort?

Yes, trying a sensitive stomach dog food may help. Science Diet and Purina ProPlan both make good formuals. Starting her on a probiotic 1 week of every month may also help. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

I would have to guess that she may have some acid reflux causing her to have a sour stomach. Discuss with your vet about trying her on some antacids to see if this makes a difference. I would also try feeding her a light snack at night to keep some food in her stomach longer. If she is otherwise fine, then further testing likely isn't needed. I hope that this helps! Best wishes with your fur baby Zoey moving forward.

This could indicate a mild case of stomach irritation called gastritis. Dogs have no need for chlorophyll. If she's eating a balanced commercial diet and absorbing it Chloe should be getting all the vitamins and minerals and needs. As long as Chloe is eating, drinking and acting normally you could watch her dog now. But if she stops eating, vomits blood or coffee-ground looking material, or seems painful she should get checked out by her veterinarian

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. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
