🍃 Grass Seed Season is Here – Keep an Eye on Your Dog! 🐶
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.
⚠️ Signs to watch out for:
🐾 Excessive licking or chewing at a paw
👂 Head shaking or scratching at the ears
👁️ Red, watery, or squinting eyes
🤧 Sudden sneezing or nosebleeds
🐕 Swelling, redness, or a painful lump
😣 Limping or signs of discomfort
🌿 Prevention tips:
✔️ Check your dog after every walk, especially between the toes, around the ears, eyes, and armpits.
✔️ Keep the hair around the paws trimmed if appropriate.
✔️ Avoid long grass where possible during peak grass seed season.
