⚠️**Blue-green algae **⚠️

Be careful as the weather is getting warmer, our dogs often want to take a dip to cool off and take a drink.

Dogs exposed to blue-green algae can become ill very quickly, it can cause organ failure and potentially death 😟

A great post by the PDSA.

Some great advice from the PDSA!

Would you know what to check before buying your pet? ⚠️

We're proud members of the Pet Advertising Advisory Group (How To Buy A Pet), a group committed to ensuring the advertising of pets online is done so legally and ethically.

Bringing a new pet into your home is a life-changing and exciting moment. But there are some steps to take and important checks to carry out before you make any impulse decisions 👇

Find out more here: http://pdsa.me/TovX

[Visual description: Infographic explaining 'what to check before you buy your pet'. Try an animal charity first. There are thousands of healthy, loving animals of all ages throughout the UK who need a home. Is it dangerous, wild or even endangered? Many dangerous, wild or exotic species need a licence and are for specialists. Check it will make a suitable pet. All animals have unique needs, research them well and work out lifetime costs of keeping them. See young animals with their mum. Are they old enough to leave her yet? By law, kittens and puppies can’t leave their mum until they’re eight weeks old. Report adverts for illegal breeds and beware of illegal imports. Pets that have been smuggled in may have a disease that affects their health and yours. When you visit the pet, make sure you ask about the animal’s health and family medical history. Beware of dodgy breeders.]
