Urgent Warning: Grass Seeds Pose Serious Threat to Dogs This Spring
Grass Seed Warning for Dog Owners This May, pet owners in the UK are being warned about the dangers of grass seeds to their canine companions. Veterinarians are reporting an increase in cases of dogs suffering from grass seeds embedded in their paws, ears, and eyes. One vet, featured in a recent TikTok video by Pet Health Club, explains the problem. "At this time of year," he says, "grass seeds get stuck in paws, ears, eyes, and toes." He demonstrates the removal of a seed from a dog's ear in the video. The vet stresses the importance of checking your dog thoroughly after walks and brushing their fur regularly to remove any lodged seeds. If you notice any symptoms such as swelling, discharge, or limping, contact your vet immediately. The video serves as a timely reminder for responsible pet ownership and proactive care.
