Beware of foxtails while out and about with your dogs! Foxtails have barbed razor-sharp needles that are dangerous to your dog. If you are exposed, thoroughly inspect the hot spots (ears, nose, eyes, underbelly, between toe pads).

- Foxtails can go up the nose and migrate to the brain.
- Embedded foxtails can cause pain and even death in extreme cases
- Pets with long fur and long ears are especially prone to getting foxtails
- Foxtails move in one direction. They dig in, and they do not come out on their own.
- Foxtails love paws and can easily embed between toes.
- Foxtails can dig into any part of the body, and they don't dissolve.
- Foxtails pieces can easily be inhaled & puncture a lung!

With warmer weather approaching fast, lets make sure to keep our pets safe this summer. If your pet can not be inside with you, be sure to provide them with lots of shade and water and leave in open spaces, never crated outdoors. Never leave them in your car without the A/C running. Avoid exercising them during peak hours. Check the temperature of asphalt with your hands/bare feet, if its too hot for you, its also too hot for your pets.
Signs of heat stroke in your pet could present itself in many way and can be fatal. Watch for signs of; vomiting, bloody diarrhea, excessive panting, dark or bright red gums, sticky thick saliva, unwillingness to walk, staggering, increased heart rate, and more.
We're open 24/7 for all your pets emergencies.
