    Alert- Grass seed problem for dogs

    Hi,
    just a heads up that there is a super abundance of very dry grass seeds in BC this year that can be very detrimental to dogs.I have had to pull many seeds from my dogs paws last week after some seeds made entry into skin and festered.Vet said that it is a bad year for this and seeds can work into eye membranes requiring surgery.I am trying to avoid heavily grassed areas now..

    I am in lower mainland but anywhere we had some wetness in late spring followed by the prolonged dry heat we currently have is bad.
    Typically this is a prairie/grassland region problem for hunting dogs, but first time I have experienced it in BC…
    and I hunt Chuckar! ( constantly pulling cactus out myself and dog).
