Grass seed season is upon us ‼️

Also known as grass awns, darts, arrows, jack seeds….Whatever you call them, they can cause big issues with pets.

They can become lodged in between paws, up noses, in eyes, in ears or get stuck in fur. Because of the shape of them, they tend to go in nicely but they aren’t always easy to remove.

If they become embedded, your pet will likely need sedation so they can be removed safely.

There are things you can do to help avoid them…

1 - Avoid walking in grassy areas
2 - Post walk checks (ears, feet, eyes)
3 - Keep fur clipped short around these areas
4 - Look out for any swellings between toes
5 - Watch for head shaking after a walk

If in any doubt, that your pet may have a grass seed lodged somewhere it shouldn’t be, please call the practice in the first instance…They longer they are left, the trickier they can be to find!

Due to recent short notice cancellations and date changes I will be introducing a 50% deposit for all holiday bookings from new clients.

I have tried to avoid this as wanted to offer flexibility. Where possible I will always try to accommodate changes but please understand as much as I love my job I do rely on the income to feed my own family. If an alternative free dog care arrangement comes up that’s lovely for you but it doesn’t support my business.

Also, if you haven’t confirmed dates then you do not have a booking with me. Asking if I can board your dog in a particular month doesn’t mean they are booked in to stay.

Thank you to all my clients that have and continue to board with me, also for all the recommendations. Without you I wouldn’t be able to continue doing what I do 🐾
