Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?  http://dogsanddogtraining.com/why-do-dogs-eat-grass/   

Is it simply because they enjoy the taste?

Dogs have a pretty poorly developed sense of taste and will generally eat anything they come across. But while taste itself may not be a factor it is true that dogs are omnivores, and need to eat vegetable matter as well as meat. By eating grass your dog is simply doing what comes naturally.

Some vets suggest that eating grass may indicate the dog needs more fiber in his diet. So, you if your dog is constantly eating grass you may want to speak to your vet about how you can increase his fiber intake.

But there really is no reason to worry about a dog that occasional eats grass. Just be sure to keep him away from toxic plants, and chemicals, like fertilizers.

The actually reason for your dog eating grass is likely a combination of at least some of the factors above. But in truth we may never know the answer to the question, why do dogs eat grass?
