Foxtails in Dogs | This Weed Can Kill Your Dog

Foxtails are a silent danger that every pet owner should be aware of.
Hiding in open fields across the country, foxtails can easily latch onto your dog’s fur and wreak havoc.
Ranging from severe skin infections to internal damage, this plant material has the ability to deeply impact your dog’s health.
The term foxtail refers to a weed that releases barbed seed heads when it blooms.
This grass-like weed is often referred to as a “mean seed”, as these sharp grass awns easily attach to your dog’s fur as they walk through the grass.
Once the foxtail finds its way to your dog’s skin, a slew of painful complications are soon to follow.
The pointy shape causes the foxtail to always burrow forward, allowing the seed to burrow deeply into its victim.
The term foxtail may be used to describe any plant that releases these sharp seeds, ranging from cheatgrass to wild rye.
No matter which plant is responsible for the foxtail your dog comes across, each can easily burrow into your dog’s body and cause significant complications.
