Grass seeds! 🌱
They may look small and harmless but these are a common problem for dogs in the summer months. They resemble arrow heads and are attached to the top of long grass stems, and they can easily be brushed off into their fur.
Grass seeds have very sharp pointy ends which if become trapped can bury into the skin, very often into the paws and ears. If your dog has a grass seed stuck you will often notice them
*Licking or chewing vigorously at the paw
*Swelling on or between their toes
*Limping
*Shaking of the head
*Rubbing or pawing at the ear
If you are worried that your dog may have a grass seed do not hesitate to ring for advice.
Picture above of grass seeds removed from a dogs paw, they are very much happier now they are out!
