In the present work a retrospective study on vegetal foreign bodies (VFBs) localization inside the tracheobronchial tree of forty-one dogs is reported. Totally 47 grass awns were found, and only three dogs presented more than one FB. Most of VFBs were found inside right bronchial ramifications (76.6%, no. 36), while 23.4% (no. 11) were found inside the ventro-caudal branch of the left cranial lobar bronchus. The impossibility of predicting the location, and the concomitant presence of more than one FBs in a single patient are conditions that impose to make always a careful evaluation of the whole bronchial tree.
