Things You'll Need
- Dog brush
- Scissors
Instructions
Brush the fur along a dog's legs and paws with a dog brush after each walk if the dog has been near tall grasses. Then brush the rest of the body. This will help remove any loose foxtails.
Check the dog's paws carefully. Spread the dog's toes and check in between them. Pull off any foxtails around the toes that are not embedded in the skin.
Cut a foxtail out of the fur around the toes if it is tangled and does not come free with brushing. Use sharp scissors and only cut the pieces of fur stuck to the foxtail. Be careful not to cut the dog's skin.
