Springtime means grass seed season, and for something so tiny, they can cause a lot of big problems for your pet! The issues they can cause range from minor discomfort right through to potentially life-threatening conditions. If you cannot remove a grass seed from your pet’s coat (with your fingers, tweezers or scissors), give us a call to organise removal.

Walks, runs, catching up with friends and play sessions in the park are perfect ways to keep your pet active. Here are a few tips for you. 👇
