We all have a dog who will roll in grass almost every single day. It looks nice and not special. But, it looks adorable as well. Now, we will explain why most dogs do this. Why do dogs roll in grass in the first place? There are a few reasons for that and we will cover all of them. Without further ado, let’s begin.

Why Do Dogs Roll In Grass All The Time?

They did this while living in the wild

Why do dogs roll in grass answer starts with a bit of history. Dogs lived in the wild and they had to hunt in order to survive. As such, they had to mask their scent in order to make hunting more successful.

If a wild animal smells a dog or anything that reminds it of a wolf (dogs come from wolves as you know) it will run away. In that case, a dog will stay hungry. Rolling in the grass masks the scent and makes it impossible for that animal to sense the dog. In other words, this is their instinct that helped wild dogs hunt easier. 

We must explain that the sense of smell in dogs is extremely powerful. It is over 60% stronger than the one we have. For instance, we can smell a meal cooking in the kitchen. But, a dog will smell all the ingredients used such as cheese, mushrooms, potatoes and so much more. That’s why they do something that looks weird to you.

The sense of smell helps them have a different perspective of the world. If humans develop a sense of smell as powerful as dogs, pour habits and actions would change as well.

Modern dogs roll in the grass as well, but why?

Image Source: prouddogmom.com

Modern dogs do not hunt. However, they still roll in the grass all the time. There are a few theories why they do this and we will cover all of them below. 

They want to mark the territory

The most common explanation is also the simplest. A dog will roll in the grass to mark his territory. This is always the case if or when you see him rolling on a stick, some objects, or anything similar. He may roll on the bed of a new dog as well. The idea is always the same. 

It feels like nothing else

Is your dog rolling in the grass and looks relaxed, calm, and enjoys that? If he does, he is a happy dog. Dogs love rolling in the grass and they prefer it to any flooring, bedding, or anything similar. They love spending as much time on the grass as they can. When they roll in the grass they do it because it is fun to them and it feels great. If your pet looks relaxed while doing this, it is the explanation that matters. Most dogs will roll in the grass due to this reason and a few more from this list. If you rolled in the grass sometimes, you know that this feels like nothing else. It is relaxing, casual and it is great. Yes, dogs do love most of the things we love as well.  

They are scratching 

Yes, dogs do have allergies and skin irritations. If we add countless issues that may cause one of these problems, we can see that the problem is common and annoying.

They cannot scratch like humans so they need an alternative. Rolling in the grass is the best method. If you notice your dog doing this all the time and when you scratch him to a specific place he likes and stays next to you, he may have skin irritation. Of course, all dogs like to be scratched but look for any signs on the skin. The issue may be caused by insects, shampoo, injury, or something similar. 

He wants to express himself

Some dogs will roll in the grass so they can express themselves. They will do this all the time and they will look happy and satisfied. It is something they like and something they do. Rolling the grass activates countless stimulations as well so this is something your pet will definitely enjoy. There is no need to do anything if your pet is rolling the grass due to this reason. 

Your dog is obsessed

This reason why a dog rolls in the grass is not a pleasant one. He is obsessed with this and he will do it all the time. The behavior should be corrected simply because your pet won’t do other things as often as rolling the grass. You will want to start with treats use training and try to decrease the frequency of him doing this.

Usually, it is a simple ‘’fix’’ and there is no need to worry excessively about it. On the other hand, this is a rare explanation of why a dog rolls in the grass. 

Dogs don’t love pleasant scents 

You love shampoos, soaps, and all the rest that smells nice. This is perfectly normal. Well, dogs don’t like that. They prefer smells from nature and even bad odors. They got used to them and they love these. When you bathe your pet and use a nice shampoo, he may go outside and roll in the grass or something that stinks! He wants to remove the scent you put on his fur. It is as simple as that and it is a very effective method.

The final word

Why do dogs roll in the grass every single day? Now you know all the reasons and you can implement these in your particular pet. Keep in mind that in 90% of cases you don’t have to do anything about it. This is perfectly normal behavior and as such, it should be left alone. We would like to recommend to you that if you live in an apartment, take your dog to a park or any grass covered areas so he can roll. It is important to them.
