Foxtails are growing fast, now is the time to pull them before they drops seeds! Don't let them get brown and hurt your pet! Foxtail and cheat grass seeds can cause ear, eye, and paw infections...sometimes bad enough to kill pets. The grass barbs work their way through the skin and eventually into the chest cavity, spine, or organs. 

Here are a few signs to look out for if one does get embedded: inflammation, redness, constant scratching, limping, and frequent licking of paws. Try to keep your dog from spending time in fields with weeds and wild grasses. After time outdoors, always check your pet for barbs. Brushing their coat thoroughly and looking for signs of irritation in your pet can help prevent issues.
