Seeds of Grass

Grass awns or grass seeds don’t sound terribly hazardous to your pet’s health.  But these small arrow shaped seeds can result in penetrating trauma and abscess formation when stuck in the skin. During the summer and fall months, certain types of grasses produce seeds with barbs that behave similar to a fishhook, they attach easily to the hair coat and are difficult to remove. Once attached, these pesky little seeds hitch a ride, presumably to find a new place to grow. However, the barbs prevent backward movement particularly in dogs with curly or dense coats and the seeds move continuousl ..read more

As most of us have most likely heard through various media outlets, there has been an outbreak of a fatal virus in dogs who have been residing in Michigan.  It has been reported that dozens of dogs, most less than 2 years of age, have presented with vomiting, diarrhea, and severe dehydration. These symptoms are the hallmark of an unfortunately common illness in dogs called canine parvovirus (CPV) which is all too often fatal. What makes the situation in Michigan particularly concerning is that all of the dogs that died were tested for CPV in the clinics and shel ..read more

Every year between June and August we see many dogs with these pesky pokey little grass seeds (foxtails) working their way into feet, ears, and even under eyelids. Sometimes they require surgery to be removed. You will see grass seeds typically growing in clumps (but can be more sparse) under trees, along sidewalks, and in any grassy areas such as parks. These pesky, pokey little grass seeds are everywhere! We wanted to send you a quick reminder that we are in that season again and give you a few tips to try and avoid an extra visit to see us: Grass seeds can blend in with fur so checking and ..read more

Pet Insurance

Why pet insurance? Pet owners must be prepared to take on the financial responsibility of maintaining a pet’s health and well-being. An unexpected illness or accident can take a toll on your finances. Public demand for optimal pet care has advanced veterinary emergency medical procedures and treatments. This has in turn increased the costs of veterinary care. While medical expenses are often covered for humans through insurance, most pets are not so fortunate. Pet insurance provides a sense of security for pet owners by ensuring that they will have help paying for unexpected veterinary expens ..read more

  Grass seeds, grass awns, foxtails, cheatgrass: whatever you call it, can be bad news for pets. Each tiny pod is a single seed and it only takes one to cause trouble. Grass awns or grass seeds don’t sound terribly hazardous to your pets health.  But, these small arrow shaped seeds can result in penetrating trauma and abscess formation when stuck in the skin. During the summer and fall months, certain types of grasses produce seeds with barbs that behave similar to a fish hook, they attach easily to the hair coat and are difficult to remove.

In Washington state, Initiative 502 legalized the sale and recreational use of small amounts of licensed and regulated marijuana-related products for adults aged 21 and over.  Regardless of its legal status, veterinarians have been aware of it as a toxicant for as long as it has been a commonly used medical and recreational substance.  Trupanion, a Seattle-based pet insurance provider reported that the number of marijuana toxicity cases in all states increased by 50% per capita from 2014 to 2015.  In April 2017, they also reported that Washington state had the highest frequency ..read more
