Many dogs enjoy the taste of grass and it's common to hear of them snacking on it throughout the day. Dogs are Omnivores & most diets available don't meet their needs. To supplement this some dogs will have a bit of a feast on your turf. Other will eat grass to purge their systems if they have an upset stomach. They will generally swallow without chewing, using the prickly stalks to irritate their stomach lining, causing them to vomit. So if you find small amounts of bile & grass vomit around, it's nothing to be too concerned about - but if it continues, it's always best to consult your vet.
