🌾🌞👩‍🌾Gardening season? More like grass seed season for our furry family members. Particularly in the spring and summer months, there is an increase in grass seed inflicted problems.

🌾While the notion of grass seeds does not sound threatening, these small horrors can attach to your pet’s fur and quickly travel into their skin and beyond. Once they have entered the skin, they can pe*****te your pet’s body and cause detrimental damage, including infection and in serious cases, fatality. There are a few things we need to be aware of when it comes to these deceivingly small dangers!

🌾The most common places that grass seeds are found include your pet’s eye/eyelids, toes, coat/skin, ears, nose and prepuce (male anatomical part closest to the ground!). If a grass seed contacts your pet’s body, you may shortly see redness and inflammation around the area, and possibly pus. A change in their behaviour may be observed. Infection will likely develop within hours and the area will become painful to touch.

There are some ways that you can protect your pet from these sneaky seeds.
You can:

🐾Be particularly vigilant if you have a long-haired breed or working breed of dog. These are most at risk of picking up a grass seed.
🐾Prevent your pet from exploring areas of tall grass. Be careful in reserves and paddocks.
🐾Ensure all grooming is up to date and that long-hair is clipped. You can also check out protective vests that your pet can wear outside.
🐾After exercise, take some time to groom your pet and remove any seeds. Focus carefully on their toes, ears and armpits.
🐾Try to stay on top of mowing your own yard every few weeks, as this often is where your pet will pick up their seeds.
