Poor Hetty spent the afternoon with us last week to have a grass seed removed! 🌱

Grass seed season still hasn’t slowed down - they are particularly nasty this year!

Remember:
- Check feet and ears after walks
- Brush your dogs after walks
- Avoid long grass

Even when being super cautious like Hetty’s owners who groom her daily, grass seeds can still embed themselves. If you’re worried your pet has a grass seed, phone 01305 784197 📞
