If you’ve had a dog with a grass seed - where did it happen? Ears? Feet? Somewhere surprising?? Yup. It’s grass seed season. Literally doing this once a day rn, sometimes more. This lovely, stoic dog barely flinched- but most dogs need sedation for this, especially when the seed goes in their feet. Who’s most at risk: dogs with hair around their ears and feet (*spaniels*) and who go into the long grass this time of year. The prevention: special ear covers, boots or just clip the hair between toes and at the entrance of the ear. Not guaranteed, but helps your chances of avoiding the pain and $500 vet bill. 😎 Have you had to deal with this? Tell us your story🫣

Happy 4th to those in the 🇺🇸🎉! Growing up, this day was always so fun, it was about eating food cooked outside and blowing things up (it’s an 80’s-90’s thing, no judging 😆). Speaking of, if your dog might get stressed from the fireworks and fire crackers, you can: 1. Turn up ambient sounds in the house. Such as soft a.m. radio, white noise, soft classical music. If you’ve been getting them used to firework noises already, good on you 🤛🏽. 2. close the windows (flashes and lights) doors (sounds) and move them to the quietest room. 3. give them a safe space, a crate if that is their go-to 4. Ideally, keep them indoors 5. Make sure their microchip and collar tag info is up to date, in case they do try and run from the noise. 6. Use the medications prescribed from your vets for noise phobias, if you have them. And don’t forget to give them well before they’re needed. 7. If you can, stay with them through the loudest times. Be well, stay safe, Happy 4th and let’s try and remember what is being celebrated so that it can continue to be.
