⚠️Blue-Green Algae ⚠️ Danger to animal life ⚠️

When algae bloom occurs, the water takes on a striking appearance, often transforming into shades of green, blue-green, or even a murky greenish-brown.

You might spot scums along the shore, resembling paint splatters, fluffy mousse, or small clumps.

These algae blooms can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the conditions in the water body, until the algae eventually die and break down.

⚠️ Do not allow your pet near the water!! ⚠️ Exposure to these algae blooms can be fatal.⚠️

Animals can be exposed to these toxins when they drink or swim in contaminated water, or if they lick their fur after coming into contact with harmful algae, which can lead to rapid poisoning or sudden death.

As these blooms become more prevalent during the warmer months, being able to identify them quickly and take action is essential for keeping our pets safe.

Always report any sightings of these blooms to the Environment Agency for safety.

Rosie’s first day of work experience as a ‘dog walker’ on a day when all walks had to be cancelled. Instead she watered the lawn whilst Hannah collected the dogs.

When the dogs arrived we had a fine mist sprinkler operating almost like a light sprinkling of rain and all the dogs had cuddles in the shade.

We survived! ###

So many people don’t know this 👇

Quick heads up for all dog lovers who drive…

If your dog’s coming in the car with you they’ve got to be properly strapped in. It’s not just about safety anymore it’s the law!

You can’t just have them on your lap or loose in the back anymore. That counts as careless driving now and you could be hit with:

A fine of up to £5,000
Penalty points
Or even prosecution if there’s an accident

What does count as secure:

– A crash-tested dog seatbelt or harness
– A pet carrier or crate
– A proper dog guard in the boot

Holding them or letting them roam just won’t cut it anymore.

It’s not about ticking a box it’s about keeping them safe if you have to slam the brakes on.

Share this with your dog-owning mates I know loads of people still don’t know this has changed!
