Foxtail Season at the Foot of Mount Diablo in Clayton

Clayton sits at the base of Mount Diablo, and foothill trails lead straight out of neighborhoods like Oakhurst, where one listing even mentions a trailhead in the court. Dry grass comes with that setting. A longtime Clayton veterinarian has written that foxtails return every spring, and UC Davis says cases usually start around April and fade by fall. The town also has a fenced, two-section dog park built with the Clayton K-9 Coalition, open to registered members.

Foxtails and burrs hide in longer coats, especially around paws, ears and armpits. When I groom, I go through the coat by hand, trim the hair between the toes and around the ears where seeds catch, and keep feathering short during dry season. If I find a seed starting to work into the skin, I will tell you so your vet can look at it. Each dog gets my full attention for the whole visit.

Common Questions

How can I tell if my dog picked up a foxtail near Mount Diablo?

Watch for sudden sneezing, shaking the head, squinting, or licking one paw over and over. A seed can burrow under the skin. Check right after walks, and call your vet quickly if you see these signs.

Does grooming help prevent foxtail problems for my Clayton dog?

Yes. Keeping hair short between the toes, around the ears and on the legs gives seeds less to catch on, and a full brush-out finds ones that have already hooked in. It lowers risk but does not replace checking after walks.

Do you come to Clayton, CA?

My van is based in Oakley and I travel to Clayton by appointment. Text me your address and your dog's size and breed, and I will confirm whether I can fit you into my route.

What size dogs do you groom?

I groom small dogs, generally under 35 pounds. My van and my one-on-one setup are built around keeping small dogs calm and comfortable.

How does mobile grooming work?

I bring a self-contained grooming van to your home with my own warm water and a drain tank. Your dog is groomed right outside your door, so there is no mess and no water used inside your house.
