Description

When the days get longer and the grass starts growing, many dogs develop an appetite for fresh green blades. But why? In this episode, we explore what makes spring grass so attractive, whether your dog’s behavior is normal, and how to recognize when something might be wrong. A mix of science, instinct, and a few relatable moments you’ll recognize if you've ever had to pull a grass strand out of your dog’s behind (yes, really).
