Oh dear, that sounds uncomfortable for your pup! It's not uncommon for dogs, especially those who love exploring and munching on grass, to end up with a piece sticking out. Here's what you can do to help.
First, don’t pull on the grass. It could be tangled further up in the digestive tract, and pulling might cause injury. Instead, you can try gently trimming the exposed grass as close to the anus as possible. Whenever dealing with an area this sensitive, it's crucial to remain gentle to avoid any irritation.
To make the passing of the grass more comfortable, ensure your dog stays hydrated and gets some fiber in their diet. Offering small amounts of plain canned pumpkin can be helpful since it's high in fiber and can aid digestion.
Keep an eye on your dog for signs of distress, such as scooting, excessive straining or whining, loss of appetite, or any blood in their stool. These could indicate a blockage or irritation, and it would be best to seek veterinary care.
If you're still concerned or the grass doesn't pass naturally within a day, it might be wise to book a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We're here to help and ensure your furry friend is feeling their best!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
