If you’ve ever glanced out the window to see your dog casually grazing like a miniature cow, you’re in good company. Whether it’s a harmless quirk or something that needs attention, many pet owners find themselves asking, “Why does my dog eat grass?” At True Care Veterinary Hospital in Howell, NJ, we hear this question often, and the reassuring news is that grass nibbling is usually normal. Still, it’s helpful to know when it’s nothing to worry about and when it deserves a closer look.

As the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to plan some spring adventures for dogs. Getting outside with your pup is a great way to enjoy nature, and it’s also excellent for fitting in exercise and bonding opportunities.
