I want to know why - Dogs lick the air and eat grass????? This is NOT a joke!?

Dogs lick the air because it help them to keep their noses wet and able to smell things in the air. Remember, dogs have powerful smell than ours. Dogs eat grass because it help them to settle their stomach or because they are thirsty and it is one way to prevent the thirst.

Okay, so I know a lot of people say that a dog only eats grass if they want to make themselves sick, however, that can depend on the dog. I have two and they both have eaten grass all their lives long and they do not get sick. They do this everytime they go outside and their mother and father apparently also do. So don't get too worried if your dog is eating grass and not throwing up.

They eat grass to calm there stomachs. Licking the air is a different story. It might have something to do with enhancing sent maybe.

I think they lick the air to taste. And they eat grass to settle and upset stomach

Dogs taste the air it's another way of telling were food is. They grass to clean out there tummies. They will eat it when they feel sick.

dogs lick the air to mosten their nose and to taste the air like a snake, the olfactory "smelling" nerves and the taste buds all route to the same place in the brain in both humans and dogs, so licking the air gives them a better sniff. dogs eat grass to sooth an upset stomache or to induce vomiting, some dogs just like grass, it won't hurt them

Dogs eat grass because they like it.

They lick the air because it helps them wet there nose and eat grass because they are nauseous.

dogs lick the air to keep their noses wet and eat grass to settle thir stomach when its upset.

grasses for dogs helps the stomach

dogs lick the air yes, because it help to moisten their noses (since it functions better when done so) this helps them find food easier and keep them cool at the same time.

they lick or chew on grass specially in the morning to grasp some dew when they're thirsty and chew on the grass when their stomaches are upset, the fibers help in digestion and often times when they really feel sick the same fibers help them clear out what they've ingested through throwing up.
