Generally dogs tend to eat grass when they have a stomach upset, constant grass eating can be a sign of an ongoing gastrointestinal problem. Having said that, some dogs tend to really like lemongrass for some reason - so it might be that your dog happens to be one of those. It's not a toxic plant for dogs so it's not a problem.
