Burrs and other weeds that can stuck in  dog feet, paws and legs.

Burrs are so common around here in California that I crocheted some stockings for my dogs legs so that the burrs wouldn’t get tangled into the hair and into his feet.

Burr and weeds have little hooks and projections that just are perfect for getting embedded into dog feet. 

It’s important to check your dog’s foot after a walk, especially if you’ve been walking in the weeds for any of these nasty little irritants have gotten entangled in the hair between the toes of your dogs paws.

TREATMENT.

Cut away the hair in between the toe pads and remove the burr or stick.  Cutting away the hair will also prevent more burrs from sticking to the dogs foot next time you take your dog for a walk.

Take your dog for a walk every day.  It’s important for his health and it’s good for you to take a break, get away into the fresh air and clear the mind.  It does your dog a world of good and you’ll bond with him.

Woof!
