If their tummy is upset
When they are low on animal protein they turn to grass to get whatever protein they can.

Dogs are not known for being fussy eaters. Put it in your dog's path and he'll gobble it up, whether it be table scraps, garbage ... or grass.

Dogs are primarily carnivores (meat-eaters). Although they like to eat meat, they can also survive on a well-balanced vegetarian diet: Cats, on the other hand, may die without animal protein. Like all living creatures, dogs need a combination of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water in a balanced diet that provides enough calories to meet their daily needs.

We're not sure why your pup likes grass, although there have been many theories offered. Primarily, dogs are descended from wild canids (wolves and foxes), which ate the entire "kill" when they hunted for food. Since they consumed many herbivores (plant-eating animals), they wound up eating a lot of plants and even berries found in the stomach and intestines of their prey.

They do eat when they need to vomit, and Makennaselenedi stop saying "No they eat when their tummy is upset" because one answer is enough, you dont have to spam it on every comment.

Dogs need roughage in their diets and grass is a good source of fiber. A lack of roughage affects the dog's ability to digest food and pass stool, so grass may actually help their bodily functions run more smoothly.

Eating grass is a typical sign of stomach upset. Sometimes they also eat grass if they are dehydrated and do not have access to water. If you have a Vet nearby, seek his advice. If its a stomach issue they will recommend some pet medications for fast relief. However, you can also buy prescription diets for dog from petcarerx website that are good for your pet's stomach.
