A dog owner has issued a serious warning to other pet owners to be on the lookout for a plant that can be dangerous to your four-legged friends this summer
. The TikTok user, @karmabertelsen, described her experience with foxtail - a weed-type grass that flourishes in the summer months.
"They can get stuck in ear canals, nose canals and between toes, and if untreated, can cause lots of damage.
