June 29, 2023
As this 4th of July holiday beach weekend approaches, veterinarian Dr. Jeff Werber warns dog owners of the dangers surrounding sand impaction. Sand impaction happens when a dog ingests too much sand, leading to a painful blockage in the intestines. He says a serious case of sand impaction can cause stomach pain and vomiting. Dr. Werber also says it's important to wipe your dog's ball after playing in the sand.
