It’s definitely grass seed season🌾 🐶
Alicia found this one in her own doggo’s nose ; Oscar had been sneezing , so luckily Alicia was quick to act and managed to retrieve it without too much trouble .
Grass seeds may look harmless, but they can become lodged in your dog’s ears, nose, or paws, causing pain, irritation, and even serious infections.
Keep an eye out for signs like head shaking, sneezing, excessive licking, or limping after walks. If you’re concerned, contact the team as soon as possible.
A quick check after every walk can make all the difference. 💚🌳🐾
