Your Pug eats random things outside because they’re naturally curious and use their mouth to explore the world. They may chew on grass, sticks, or other items out of boredom, curiosity, or even a mild nutritional deficiency. Pica, a condition where dogs eat non-food items, could also be a cause. To prevent this, supervise them closely during walks, teach the “leave it” command, and redirect their attention with toys or treats. Ensure they’re getting a balanced diet to rule out nutritional gaps. If the behavior is persistent or harmful, consult your vet to check for underlying health issues or digestive concerns.
