The Day My Dog Ate Grass—and Sent Me into a Panic

One morning during our usual walk, my dog Luna suddenly darted toward a patch of tall grass and started chomping like it was gourmet salad. I thought it was funny—until we got home and she threw up all over the kitchen floor. Panic kicked in. Was she sick? Poisoned? I googled everything I could and found a bunch of theories: maybe her stomach was upset and the grass helped trigger vomiting… or maybe it was some ancient instinct from her wolf ancestors. Or maybe, dogs are just weird and like to keep us guessing. Still, the vomiting didn’t stop. She skipped dinner. That’s when I knew it wasn’t just a fluke. We went straight to the vet the next morning—with a poop sample in hand. Turns out, she had a mild parasite, likely from that “innocent” patch of grass. Now, I never ignore grass-eating. Lesson learned the hard way. Ever had a scare like this with your pup? I’d love to hear your story in the comments! #DogMomLife #PetHealthJourney #WhyDogsEatGrass #DogCareTips #LearningTheHardWay
