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.

Good things come in small packages – and Sergeant is a whopping 12 pounds of the greatest pup you’ll ever meet!

Spunky 5 Year Old Sergeant loves to play with squeaky toys and go for walks where he can sniff to his heart’s content.
