With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.

Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.

If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

Tornadoes form during intense thunderstorms and can reach wind speeds of 200+ mph. Although tornadoes can occur anywhere, they are prevalent in the Southeast and Midwest. Stay informed by downloading the FEMA app and signing up for weather reports and evacuation notices.

Keep a list handy of pet-friendly shelters and contact information for your local animal control office and ASPCA Poison Control (888-426-4435) in case of evacuation.

🐾 It is important to avoid grain free diets to help protect the health of our furry friends hearts ❤️

🐾 Avoid any diets with “ancient” grains. Dogs and cats cannot process things like quinoa and barley. (They 💩 them out!)

🐾 While grain free diets should be avoided in all pets, it is important to take extra caution with breeds that are predisposed to heart disease such as: Dobermans, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, and Maine C***s 🐶🐱
