      Dogs don’t eat grass, they swallow it to refresh their gut microbiome and then regurgitate it or pass it undigested.

        I don’t know what the real answer is here but I imagine the assumption wasn’t that dogs can survive on grass, c’mon.

        No no fam, they’re omnivorous. They evolved to eat a starch-rich diet because they were domesticated by us for 15,000 years. They can eat other veggies besides grass – carrots are actually good for them.
