Dogs eat grass because they need to purge. They know instinctively that the grass, at that moment, is exactly what they need. Grass is extremely high in chlorophyll, one of the stronger blood purifiers in nature.
Given that most dogs are fed an extremely processed diet, very similar to crackers and spam, they need every access to raw food that they can get ahold of, even if it's just grass.
I would highly suggest looking around for a veterinarian who has a more holistic viewpoint and approach to good animal care. Because of the results they are getting, more and morre vets are learning the dietary skills that work for keeping animals healthy. Check 'em out.
And trust your dog's instincts. He's doing what he's doing for a reason.
