Why is my dog eating grass and throwing up? Should I be concerned?

Question

My dog has been eating a lot of grass recently. Today she threw up two puddles of vomit with grass in it. Should I be concerned? She's on a high quality diet. (natural balance) Does she need chlorophyll or something? Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 17 lbs

This could indicate a mild case of stomach irritation called gastritis. Dogs have no need for chlorophyll. If she's eating a balanced commercial diet and absorbing it Chloe should be getting all the vitamins and minerals and needs. As long as Chloe is eating, drinking and acting normally you could watch her dog now. But if she stops eating, vomits blood or coffee-ground looking material, or seems painful she should get checked out by her veterinarian
