The episode provides a comprehensive overview exploring the common behavior of cats and dogs eating grass, examining various theories for why these pets consume plant matter. The episode discusses how this prevalent action is often linked to digestive needs, such as stimulating vomiting or aiding in the passage of hairballs, though many pets eat grass without purging. Other explanations covered include the potential for nutritional supplementation to gain fiber or micronutrients, an instinctual behavior carried over from wild ancestors, and psychological factors like boredom or anxiety. Finally, the text advises that while grass-eating is generally safe, pet owners must ensure the grass is untreated by chemicals and should monitor for excessive consumption that could indicate an underlying health issue.
