A vet has issued an urgent warning to pet owners who walk their dogs through long grass. It comes after a "huge" increase in the number of dogs being taken into the vets with grass seeds stuck in their eyes, paws or having ingested them when on a walk.
Grass seeds are a common problem, particularly during the summer months, and can cause painful injuries to pets. The seeds have pointy ends and can easily become trapped in a dog's fur and even burrow down into their coat to pierce their skin.
