My dog won't stop eating grass. Is it a health issue? What to do?

Question

Hello, I wonder why my dog is eating grass. We deworm him internally and externally every month and a half. Last deworming was one week ago. I hoped the grass eating would stop after that. But no luck, even when we go into the woods for Max to run he still stops from time to time to taste the grass. Not sure what may be causing that and what can I do about it? Thank you, your advice would be much appreciated. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 5 months old | 48 lbs

Some dogs acquire a taste for grass and will chew it for no reason. However, it could be a sign of an underlying problem as well. I would suggest you give him an antacid tablet once per day every day for about a week or two to see if it helps. I assume you can get Famotidine in Bulgaria at your local pharmacy? He can have 10mg once a day. I would give it on an empty stomach and then wait 30 to 40 minutes and then offer his food. I would try this first to see what happens.
