🩺 You've asked, we've responded! Here is our latest top pet-related question:

Q: I've noticed my dog munching on grass during our walks. Should I be worried?

A: It's pretty common for dogs to eat grass, and most of the time, it's nothing to worry about. Dogs might eat grass out of boredom, for digestive relief, or simply because they like the taste! However, if your dog is eating grass excessively or shows signs of stomach upset, it’s a good idea to consult with us to rule out any underlying issues.
