It's quite common for dogs to eat grass, and generally, it's not something to worry about. Many dogs do this occasionally, and it doesn't necessarily mean there's a health issue. It could simply be due to boredom, a dietary need, or because they enjoy the taste and texture.

Regarding occasional reflux, this can occur if your dog eats too quickly or if her stomach is empty for too long. There are a few strategies you can try at home to help with this. First, ensure that your dog is eating a balanced diet. Sometimes, adding a bit of fiber can be beneficial, so you might consider incorporating a small amount of cooked vegetables or pumpkin into her meals. If she tends to eat her meals too quickly, using a slow feeder bowl can encourage her to pace herself. It's also important to make sure she has access to fresh water at all times to keep her well-hydrated.

Keep an eye out for any additional symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, as these could indicate a more serious issue. If the grass eating and reflux persist or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to discuss this with your veterinarian to rule out any underlying problems.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Thank you!
