Grass seed season is here. 🌾
They might be small, but grass seeds can cause big problems for dogs. During walks, they can become trapped in paws, ears, eyes and coats, leading to pain and infection if left untreated.
After walks, especially through long grass, take a moment to check your dog's paws:
🐾 Look between their toes and pads
🐾 Check for redness or swelling
🐾 Keep an eye out for excessive licking or chewing
🐾 Feel for any seeds caught in the fur
Think your dog has picked up a grass seed?
🌾 Try to keep them calm and stop them licking the area
🌾 If it's easy to see and remove, carefully do so
🌾 If you're unsure, or you notice pain, swelling or signs of infection, contact your vet as soon as possible.
