Lack of crude fiber in the body
As the saying goes, “you get what you eat”, and the same goes for dogs. When the Labrador's body lacks nutrients, the brain will send out a signal. After receiving the instructions from the brain, the Labrador will eat some grass and eat things it does not usually eat in order to meet the body's demand for nutrients.
Poor stomach digestion
When a Labrador eats animal protein such as meat, animal liver, and fat for a long time, the digestive ability of the stomach becomes worse, and the Labrador's gastric acid secretion increases, which may cause nausea. At this time, the Labrador has a poor appetite and an imbalanced gastrointestinal system, which may lead to problems such as constipation, diarrhea and vomiting.
Whether it is a Labrador or another breed of dog, when they have problems eating grass, the owner should pay attention to supplementing the Labrador with trace elements. What ingredients are contained in trace elements:
Folic acid: The chelate in the vitamin is helpful for dogs’ skin and intestinal resistance.
Iodine: Promotes protein synthesis, helps dogs regulate energy conversion, and develops healthily.
Zinc: Helps the production of various enzymes in the dog’s body and enhances resistance.
Iron: Promotes hematopoiesis.
