Grass eating is a normal behavior in dogs, but if they are eating it in order to make themselves vomit, they might have a stomach issue going on. Make sure they are both current on deworming and consider switching them to a very digestible prescription diet like Hills I/D or Royal Canin Gastro and see if that helps.
