WHY DO DOGS EAT GRASS ?

Dogs and cats developed as hunters, which is why they have strong teeth and stomachs designed to digest high-protein foods. Meat is really their ideal meal. From time to time, however, most pets will act more like cows than carnivores, munching grass and watching the world go by. Dogs and cats instinctively eat fresh green grass, which is rich in vitamins, mineral and enzymes.
No one knows for sure why dogs and cats crave the occasional salad. It may be because their hunting ancestors developed a taste -- and a need -- for greens when they ate the stomachs of their grass-eating prey. But some vets suspect that eating grass plays more of a medicinal role -- that dogs and cats eat grass as a way of relieving digestive problems. Other vets, contrary to popular belief, believe a dog grazes on grass not because of an upset stomach, but due to the fact it's looking for the same fresh, raw nutrition enjoyed by its healthy and strong ancestors in the wild (it's the sharp, microscopic barbs that cause internal agitation and vomiting). Experts say pooches (and cats as well) instinctively eat grass to get the active, live nutrients needed for their system's defense against illness and disease
One possible cause of grass eating is a condition called pancreatic insufficiency, in which the pancreas doesn't produce all the enzymes needed for proper digestion. Eating grass may help settle pets' stomachs while providing a few additional nutrients. Another possible cause of grass eating is parasites. Pets with hookworms or roundworms, for example, often feel sick to their stomachs, and the grass may act as nature's Pepto-Bismol.
While eating small amounts of grass may settle your pet's stomach, eating too much can make things worse, says Carol A. Tice, D.V.M., a veterinarian in private practice in Cary, North Carolina. Mature blades of grass have sharp, barbed edges that can irritate the soft lining of the stomach, which is probably why many pets throw up a few minutes after indulging in a grassy meal. Worse, grass is a natural haven for intestinal parasites, the same critters that may be upsetting your pet's stomach in the first place. Now you can give your pets these great nutritional benefits without those pesky barbs.

Our scientists, veterinarians and formulators began with the premise that most pet diets are lacking the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There are important nutrients that animals once received when they were living in a more primitive environment that are not available in the modern diet. Commercial pet foods contain numerous by-products that can make them poisonous, toxic and incapable of reducing the devastating effects of unstable oxygen molecules, also known as "free radicals." Free radicals have been implicated in more than fifty health problems in humans and animals including various forms of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, cataracts and premature aging.Try BarleyLife to minimize and remove free radicals from your pet's system!
