My dog eats grass after Purina Pro Plan switch. Lacking nutrients?

Pet's info: Dog | Mountain Feist | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 25 lbs

I have a question about a recent dog food switch I made with my 3 year old pup. She was eating Taste of the Wild High Prairie for over a year and a half but I recently switched her to Purina Pro Plan due to the recent backlash against "grain-free" food. She's been eating the new food for about 2 weeks and the only thing I've noticed is she's been really preoccupied with eating grass/weeds/plants when walking her. Could she be not getting enough nutrients that she was getting with the old food

Purina ProPlan is an excellent food, and it has veterinary nutritionists on staff to make sure the food is balanced and formulated correctly. Rhea will be getting the nutrients she needs from the food.
