๐ Grass Seed Season is Here โ Keep an Eye on Your Dog! ๐ถ
Grass seeds may look harmless, but they can cause painful problems for our canine friends. Their sharp, dart-like shape means they can burrow into the skin, ears, eyes, paws, and even the nose.
โ ๏ธ Signs to watch out for:
๐พ Excessive licking or chewing at a paw
๐ Head shaking or scratching at the ears
๐๏ธ Red, watery, or squinting eyes
๐คง Sudden sneezing or nosebleeds
๐ Swelling, redness, or a painful lump
๐ฃ Limping or signs of discomfort
๐ฟ Prevention tips:
โ๏ธ Check your dog after every walk, especially between the toes, around the ears, eyes, and armpits.
โ๏ธ Keep the hair around the paws trimmed if appropriate.
โ๏ธ Avoid long grass where possible during peak grass seed season.
