 Fact: Foxtails are one of the most dangerous, everyday
threats to your dog’s health and can even be fatal . . .

. . . what simple steps can you take to guarantee
this doesn’t happen to your dog?

 

Foxtails can be found everywhere you take your dog outside: canyons, parks, hiking trails — even backyards and urban areas become everyday hazards that can cost you hundreds of dollars at the vet’s office or worse.

 

 

How?  Foxtails get caught in your dog’s hair because the barbed spikes from these common grasses break off naturally.

Foxtails have barbs that make it possible for them to travel only in one direction, so they gradually work their way further and further into your dog’s skin, causing a painful sore that must be treated by a veterinarian. This can cost anywhere from $200 to $1,000 per occurence

Here are some other tips to avoid foxtail dangers:

  • If possible, avoid foxtail infested areas – especially during the dry season.
  • Thoroughly brush and inspect your dog’s coat if it has been romping through tall, mature grass.
  • Run your hands over their coat and look for foxtails. Dogs with long hair are particularly susceptible to foxtail seeds.
  • Look into your dog’s ears. If your dog has floppy ears, lift each ear and inspect. Immediately examine your dogs paws (in-between toes and paw pads), neck (under the collar), tail/anus, and underarm areas after walks in areas with foxtails.
  • Remove any foxtails that are sitting on the fur.
  • If you believe your dog has a foxtail seed lodged somewhere in its body, get to a vet IMMEDIATELY. The longer you wait, the deeper the foxtail will travel, the more damage it may do, and the more difficult it will be to treat.
  • The only true way to eliminate the foxtail danger is to prevent it from occurring in the first place!
