rolling on the floor JOKES!

Poppy does the same, she loves eating all the grass in my back garden.. and she's started doing it when we go out for walks too, can be abit annoying when she doesnt wanna go anywhere else but one place where the grass tastes the best I guess.

Dogs will self medicate, they know instinctively which grasses will help them with different things. Some grasses they eat to make themselves be sick, some because they need something from them nutritionally, some just because they enjoy them! Its normal for dogs to eat a small amount of grass but if he is doing it excessively and it is accompanied with vomiting or diarrhea you need to look at why, possible causes.
