Foxtails Are Painful and Can Be Deadly

Christian Gray, a rescued dog, caused quite a stir when his photo was posted on our RVing with Dogs group. He was found with sores all over his body due to getting many foxtails lodged in his matted fur. It was an awful sight but got many people to see what could happen to their dogs if they got these grass seeds lodged anywhere. We are happy to report that Christian Gray has healed very nicely and has a new family to take care of him!

Bloat: A Scary Affliction for Deep-Chested Dogs

One of our Facebook group members had to rush one of their standard poodles to the vet for possible bloat. They learned that they should always have all their dog’s medical information handy when they are with their dog(s) away from home. They also learned to find out where the nearest vet clinic or emergency vet hospital is in case of an emergency when they are on the road in their RV. Their dog is fine, but here is some information about bloat you might find helpful.
