| | Foxtail and wild Barley |
 | | In the fall, when grasses have grown long and lush, a playful run through a field could cause your dog or cat serious infection, irritation, and misery resulting in an emergency visit to the veterinarian. |
 | | In some species, such as foxtail grass, the awn is armed with barbs. |
 | | Foxtails and other grass awns can penetrate ANY body orifice (nostrils, mouth, ears, and genital area), your pet's underbelly, and between the toes. |
