Are you aware of blue-green algae?
What you need to know:
⚠️Blue-green algae are tiny bacteria found in
still, nutrient-rich water.
⚠️They produce toxins harmful to dogs; about
half of exposed dogs die.
⚠️Most poisonings occur from drinking or
swimming in freshwater lakes and ponds.
Symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, muscle
tremors, and seizures can appear within an
hour.
⚠️Prevent poisoning by avoiding risky areas,
checking algae warnings, and rinsing dogs after
swimming.
