Check your feet…er…paws!

All around us we see signs of new growth and that we have left winter behind. Along with the changing seasons come burrs, and thistles, and “stickers”.

Check your dogs paws thoroughly after every walk and outdoor playtime.

This includes between the “toes” and over the dorsum (= “top”) of the paws.

It happens quite commonly:

A dog presents with lameness that is NOT attributable to an orthopedic issue or injury but because he/she simply cannot bear weight on the paw that has something (even tiny) embedded.

Easy (& cheaper) fix!
