Spring Has Sprung!
Happy Spring!
The weather is fantastic! Unfortunately, with spring comes the dreaded foxtail. Foxtails are a small, annoying, hitch-hiking weed which will plague our sweet dogs. These little weeds may accidentally be inhaled or fall into your dog’s ear. If this is the case, your dog will be sneezing repeatedly or shaking its head emphatically. Foxtails can also burrow into your dog’s paw as well as thick fur so we HIGHLY suggest you check your dog’s paws and fur on a daily basis just to be cautious. Once a foxtail is in it needs to be removed by a vet as soon as possible. You may even want to consider cutting your dog’s hair to prevent problems.
Also, as the weather gets warmer Fleas become more abundant. It is very important to your dogs’ health as well as the other dogs in the groups that you keep your dog on a quality flea control. Please ask your vet what will be best for your pooch and try and be consistent.
