Nettles
Do dogs get stung by nettles?
My heart sinks if ever I see Rod barging his way through a clump of them, but he always appears to emerge unscathed.

Re: Nettles
Dogs can get stung by nettles, usually on exposed or sensitive areas such as the nose, pads and belly. A lot of dogs won't be bothered by them, depending on their pain thresholds and the area of the body that touched the nettles.

Rocky sometimes get them on his winky but they don't bother him too much. It usually ends up with someone putting some cream on there for him

Re: Nettles
Kuchar barges through nettles too, and although he has very thin hair on the inside of his thighs, it doesn't seem to bother him. Although come to think of it, it might explain the licking he does in those areas when he's resting.
