The Hidden Danger of Foxtail Plants for Dogs
As summer approaches, many of us look forward to spending more time outdoors with our furry friends. However, there’s a hidden danger lurking in grassy areas that every dog owner should be aware of: foxtail plants. These seemingly harmless plants can pose serious health risks to dogs.
Foxtails are grass-like weeds with barbed seeds that can easily attach to your dog’s fur, paws, ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. Once embedded, these barbs can migrate deeper into your dog’s body, leading to severe infections, abscesses, and even life-threatening conditions if not promptly treated.
Symptoms to Watch For:
• Excessive licking or chewing at paws
• Redness, swelling, or discharge from eyes, nose, or ears
• Sneezing or coughing
• Sudden onset of limping
• Visible barbs in fur or skin
Prevention Tips:
1. Avoid areas with foxtails: Stay clear of fields and trails where foxtail plants are prevalent.
2. Regular grooming: Keep your dog’s fur trimmed, especially around the feet, ears, and belly.
3. Frequent checks: Inspect your dog thoroughly after outdoor activities, paying close attention to common entry points.
What to Do if You Suspect Foxtail Injury:
If you notice any of the symptoms or see foxtail barbs on your dog, contact your veterinarian immediately. Early removal and treatment are crucial to prevent complications.
Protect your pup and enjoy a safe summer! 🌞🐾
with the best furry friends! 🐶🐾 Nothing beats a day of play, relaxation, and cuddles. How are you and your pets spending the day? 🐱🌞
The Heimlich maneuver is a critical procedure that can save a dog’s life in the event of choking. Knowing how to perform it correctly is essential for all dog owners.
Steps to Perform the Heimlich Maneuver on Dogs:
1. Assess the Situation: If your dog is choking, first check if they can still breathe or if there is a partial blockage. Signs of choking include difficulty breathing, pawing at the mouth, and blue-tinged gums.
2. Small Dogs:
• Hold the dog securely, with their back against your chest.
• Place your fist just below the rib cage and give a quick, inward and upward thrust.
3. Large Dogs:
• Position the dog on their side.
• Place your hands just below the rib cage and perform quick, firm thrusts inward and upward.
4. Check the Mouth: After performing the maneuver, check the dog’s mouth to see if the object has been dislodged and can be removed carefully.
5. Seek Veterinary Care: Even if you successfully remove the object, it’s crucial to take your dog to the vet to ensure there are no internal injuries or other complications.
Acting swiftly and confidently can make a significant difference in an emergency. Always consult your veterinarian for further guidance on pet first aid.

Happy Indigenous Day! Today we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples around the world. Let’s honor their resilience, wisdom, and vibrant traditions. 🌿✨
Oops, it’s Friday, but we’re still throwing it back with our favorite pups! 🐾😂 🐶✨ 🥳
🌞 Stay cool, fur friends! 🐾 This week has been a scorcher, so it's important to make sure your pets are staying hydrated. Remember the rule of thumb for pet water intake is one ounce per pound of body weight daily, but this can vary depending on factors like age, size, diet, and activity level. Be sure to keep those water bowls filled and consider adding some ice cubes or frozen treats to help keep your pets cool and happy during these hot summer days. Stay safe and hydrated, everyone! 💦🐶🐱
Had a nice visit with Molly & her brother. It’s definitely to hot for walks. We had fun. 🤩 🤗
🐾 Harness or collar for walks?🐾
When it comes to taking your furry friend out for a stroll, it's important to consider their comfort and safety. Harnesses are often a better choice than collars, especially for dogs who tend to pull on their leash. A good harness can alleviate back pain and prevent injuries to the neck and throat.
If your pup loves to pull hard while walking, a harness is definitely the way to go. Not only does it distribute the pressure more evenly across their body, but it also gives you more control and helps to discourage pulling behavior.
So next time you're gearing up for a walk, consider swapping out that old collar for a comfy and secure harness. Your pup will thank you for it! 🐶💕
Mars bar likes to pose while catching the rays today. ☀️🤭

🔥🐶🐱 Remember, it's not just us feeling the heat this week! Our furry friends also need some extra care during these scorching days. Make sure to keep them cool and hydrated to prevent heatstroke, a serious condition that can be life-threatening for our pets. Let's all stay safe and beat the heat together! 🌞🐾
Beat the heat! ☀️🥵
🐾 Know the Signs of an Overheated Dog
Excessive panting
Barking, whining or other signs of agitation
Excessive thirst and signs of dehydration
Excessive drooling
Lethargy
Vomiting
Unsteadiness
☀️🥵When your dog’s body temperature gets too high, it can lead to heat stroke. A heat stroke is a medical emergency that can be fatal if not treated immediately. For this reason, be sure you know the signs of an overheated dog and take it to the vet immediately if you notice any.
Did just a let out with Mr. Mars today to beat the heat, he played with his jolly ball in his pool! ☀️🤗
🐾🦠 Dealing with ticks on your furry friend can be a nerve-wracking experience, but it's important to act swiftly and carefully! If you spot a tick on your pup, here's what to do:
1. Spread your dog's fur and locate the tick.
2. Using fine-tipped tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible.
3. Gently, but firmly, pull the tick straight upward in a slow, steady motion.
4. Avoid twisting or jerking to prevent the tick's mouth from breaking off and remaining embedded in the skin.
Remember, it's a common misconception that the tick's head is what embeds in the skin. By removing the tick properly, you can help prevent potential infections and keep your pup safe and healthy. Stay vigilant and keep an eye out for these pesky parasites! 🐶💪
Vulcan beat the heat by swimming today. It’s definitely a hot one. 🥵

🐾 Keeping our furry friends safe in the summer heat 🌞 Remember, before taking your pet out for a walk, make sure to check if the pavement is too hot for their paws. Use the "seven-second test" - simply touch the pavement with the back of your hand for seven seconds. If it's too hot for you to hold out for the full seven seconds, it's definitely too hot for your dog's delicate paws. Let's keep our pets safe and happy this summer! 🐶💕
☀️*ATTENTION HEAT WARNING*☀️
With some extremely hot temperatures coming this week, I will be taking extra precautions with your dogs, walks will be carefully monitored, extra breaks will happen.
I just wanted to let everyone know. Please take extra care this week with your dogs. ❤️
