My dog is always trying to eat grass, which makes his stomach upset and then he refuses to eat his food. Is there anyway to stop this?

Your dog is eating grass because he has an upset stomach and not the other way around. if it happens on a daily basis then is has got a medical condition that is causing this and you need to get it checked by your vet.
