We just treated this pup a couple of days ago for a foxtail—yep, it’s that time of year again!
Foxtail season is here, and these barbed little grass seeds can cause big trouble, especially for long-haired dogs. They love to hide in paws, ears, armpits, and tails—and can burrow into the skin, causing pain and infection.
Watch for signs like:
• Licking/chewing paws
• Limping
• Swollen toes
Quick tips:
• Avoid tall dry grass
• Check your dog after walks
• Keep long paw fur trimmed
If you spot anything suspicious, bring your pup in—we’re here to help!
