Even though the weather has cooled somewhat for our local South Australia- beware of the dreaded grass seed- still in peak season!

if left untreated Grass seeds can be potentially lethal! the most common dart-shaped grass seed pierces the skin and can travel through the body and become embedded internally causing all types of problems.
—Watch out for signs of your dog licking or chewing at one spot- particularly around their feet/legs, or redness and swelling, a ‘hole’ type wound that’s not healing, or sneezing, rubbing, shaking their head, or of course if you can visibly see a grass-seed embedded in their skin/fur.
—If embedded in their skin already it is possible to remove with tweezers, but be wary as parts of the grass-seed can potentially still be stuck inside the wound even after removing the visible grass-seed. Always seek veterinary advice if you are unsure.
—To minimise the dangers of grass-seeds; avoid dry and long grassy areas as much as possible, and check over your dogs coat after walks paying special attention to their ears, nose, armpits, belly and feet and pick out any ‘hitch-hikers’ immediately.

But most importantly keep your dog well groomed regularly, or clip them short for the summer to minimise the risks, especially if your dog is more prone to grass-seeds! Give us a call today on 8379 6522 or make a booking online via our website! ... See MoreSee Less
