To summarize: Is the habit of eating grass among our pets due to health problems?

How many times have you asked me why they eat grass, sometimes only to vomit a few minutes later?

A false myth says that they do it to purge themselves, but that is not the case.

Or do your pets always vomit after eating it? And why don't they usually show symptoms of feeling unwell before?

Simply because purging is not always a valid explanation.

Let's see what is really known about why dogs and cats eat plants and whether or not it is good to allow it.

I'll start with the cats.

A common habit

Most cat owners (if anyone is truly capable of taking ownership of such an independent animal) will tell you that if Catfish eats a bit of grass and then vomits, he is having stomach problems and is doing it to purge.

That's not necessarily true. In reality, cats, those secretive pets that we never see satisfy their physiological needs, eat grass all the time.

The habit of eating grass among cats and dogs is extremely common, experts say.

Their owners only become aware of this practice when they find greenish vomit on the floor.

Researchers from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California in Davis (USA) prepared a research project whose protocol consisted of more than a thousand cat owners (the only requirement was that the cats had access to a garden) At least three hours a day observing your pet's behavior.

As many feline owners suspected, eating grass is an extremely common habit: 71% of the animals did it at least six times in the observation period and 61% more than ten times.

Only 11% showed us vegetarian practices.

While 39% of young cats (three years old or younger) ate plants every day.<end_of_turn>
