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.

We’re so proud of our Associates, who work so hard to care for your pets, and take care of the future of veterinary medicine every day. Thank you for being part of our story.

It's time for another #meettheteam shout out! Here is one of the gals on the other end of your phone when you call our hospital, Yocelyne Goytia. She has been working here at #VCA West Coast just about six months now, and is also a groomer too! When she's not here at our hospital or making your fur baby beautiful, she enjoys being in the outdoors and is getting ready for the scary season of HALLOWEEN! She has multiple doggos, cats and even reptiles at home! To say she loves animals is an understatement! We thank you Yocelyne for being the friendly voice our clients hear when they call us. #VCA #VCACARES #specialty #emergency #animalhospital #vetmed #vetemergency #Westcoast #Animalcare #VCAhospitals #catsanddogs

Next up on this weeks #meettheteam we have Elijah Dube! Elijah has been with us close to a year now! WOW, where did the time go?! If you are ever curious as to who watches over your beloved furball when they admit to our hospital, here is one of the many nurses that have the pleasure to love on them while they are here. Our treatment team is here around the clock to make sure all of our patients are watched over and monitored through out the day. Although Elijah loves the animals he sees at work, he has two dogs of his own, Trey and Monaé. On his days off he enjoys doing powerlifting and cross-fit (gotta stay strong for those big doggos). Did I mention he learned how to walk on his hands? During the pandemic he taught himself a neat trick! He can walk on his hands for 15 yards! CRAZY! We thank Elijah for putting his heart into what he loves doing and taking care of those who can't tell us what is wrong on their own. Your dedication has shined through since you started here and we can't wait to see you continue to grow in your time here. THANK YOU FOR BEING AMAZING! #vca #vcacares #catsanddogs #animalhospital #westcoast #fountainvalley #vcawestcoast #animallovers #emergency #vetech #veterinary #animalnurse #animalspecialty

On this weeks #meettheteam here is Chris Guerrero! Chris has been working with us for just over two years! While he shows his love for animals at work, on his days off he enjoys designing and dressing up in pop culture style costumes. He is the eldest of 6 siblings and is a huge #Disney fanatic. Our CSR team is such an important role here at #vcawestcoast . Not only do they help take in your pets and help out with the phone lines, they are also the first team that will greet you at our front door. They are the the starting point for you and your pets experience with us. Thank you Chris for being a positive figure up front and welcoming our patients into West Coast. You truly are a #superhero . #vca #vcacares #animalhospitals #dogs #cats #southerncalifornia #westcoastisthebestcoast #emergency #vetmed #techlife #clientservicerep #petsarefamily
