Keeping Your Dog's Coat Seed-Free

Grass seeds can be a hazard for your dog - lodging themselves in the skin and even entering your dog’s body through their nose, mouth, and ears. Here’s how to manage these pesky intruders.

• Regular Grooming: Brush your dog's coat regularly, especially after walks. Pay close attention to the paws, ears, and armpits, where grass seeds tend to cling.

• Check and Monitor: After walks in grassy areas, inspect your dog's coat. Look for seeds, burrs, or plant awns that may have attached themselves. 

• Trimming Between Toes: Long hair between your dog's toes is a magnet for grass seeds. Regularly trim this area to minimize the chance of seeds getting lodged.

• Use Protective Gear: Consider protective gear like doggy boots or coats in areas with tall grasses or seeds.
