My dog keeps eating grass even when I try to stop her. She isn't throwing up though. I don't know what to do or if it's something important. Please help.

If this is a new thing then it may be that Izzy does have an upset stomach. If Izzy has always done this I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it is new then I would monitor and if any other symptoms develop bring Izzy to a veterinarian. Otherwise, I would make sure you keep up with every 6 months - 1 year stool sample checks looking for intestinal parasites. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
