Why is my dog not eating, has tartar, and rolls in grass after meals?

Question

Why does Charlie roll around in the grass every time he is done eating? Also he doesn’t eat as much and I noticed tartar in his teeth could that be a cause and lastly what’s an easy way to clean his teeth? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 10 years and 10 months old | 11 lbs

Some dogs like the taste of grass, and that's why they eat it. Dogs can also eat it when they feel nauseous. The tartar on his teeth could be a cause of his decrease in appetite, and it needs to be removed. The only way to remove it fully is to have a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing with the vet. Give his vet a call to make him an appointment. Best of luck.
