We are seeing so many poor dogs everyday that have grass seeds embedded in their fur and skin! It's a huge issue at the moment and we want to help you all prevent it.
We have reached a point that we are recommending that owners purchase a snood for their dogs to protect their ears while out walking.
P̳r̳e̳v̳e̳n̳t̳i̳o̳n̳
🌾Trim any long fur around your dogs ears and paws.
🌾 Avoid areas with long grass
🌾 Purchase a snood for your dog to wear while walking
Following a walk, please check your pets all over for grass seeds, the main areas to check are as follows:
🌾 Ears - you may notice head shaking
🌾 Armpits and groin area
🌾 Paws - between their toes (You may notice a lump between your dog or cats toes, this could be a grass)
🌾 Nose - Grass seeds have even been inhaled into the nose, causing a sudden onset of sneezing and pawing at the nose!
🌾Mouth - some grass seeds have been seen under the gum line.
We have recently found a grass seed embedded into a dogs cheek! Any new swelling can be a sign of a grass seed.
Please call us on 01206 544918 if you feel your pet may have an embedded grass seed.
