🚨🐾 Attention Dog Owners! 🐾🚨

Did you know that blue-green algae can be hazardous for pets? Found in stagnant water like ponds and lakes, this toxic algae can cause severe health issues and even be fatal.

Spread the word and help protect our beloved pets! 🐶💙

Make sure this summer, you plan your pet safety routines! Always have their information updated, their anxiety meds ready, and remind your guests to keep the door/gates/patio locked!

With the big celebration of fireworks coming up, please make sure to take care of your pets' anxiety and safety!

Please have updated information attached to their name tag or microchip, so they can be returned if the show startles your animals into hiding.

You've probably heard we're in for a 🔥major heat wave🔥 this week in Marin (and all around California) so make sure you're prepared to beat the heat, pets included! Dogs and cats can't sweat like humans, so they can be very susceptible to heat stroke when the temperature soars.

Walk your dog during the cooler morning and evening hours to avoid overheating or burns to their paws. Asphalt, concrete, sand, and even packed dirt can get hot enough to burn paw pads. If it's too hot for you to hold your hand against a surface, it's too hot for your dog!

Make sure your pets have access to water all day long.💧 If you take your dog with you when you leave the house, bring along a bowl and water for them to drink - don't make them wait until you return home!

And speaking of taking your pup along with you: 🚫NEVER leave a dog in a hot car🚫 - not even in the shade, not even with the windows down, and not even for a very quick errand. A car's internal temperature can become deadly in a matter of minutes in this weather.

If you notice your pets showing signs of heat stroke such as excessive panting, heavy salivating, and extreme lethargy, get them to a cool spot in your home and offer plenty of water. You can also immerse them slowly in a bath of cool water (NOT ice cold water, which can cause shock) to lower their body temperature, and contact your veterinarian.

Last but not least: We're also in a Red Flag Warning, meaning fire conditions are critical, so make sure your go bag - for both people AND pets - is at the ready! Subscribe to local emergency alerts like Nixle and use apps like PulsePoint or WatchDuty to keep tabs on local fires and other emergencies.

Whew! We know that's a lot, but we want everyone to stay safe in this weather, people and pets alike. ❤

Make sure to keep track of the weather, this week, Pet Parents! Please be mindful of high temperatures and our furry friends; extra water and shade or waiting until cooler climates arrive for a walk or two.

🔥🌞 This week, temperatures are soaring across the Bay Area, and it’s crucial to keep our furry friends safe. The heat can quickly turn your car into a dangerous zone, even with the windows cracked. If you must run errands, we urge you to please leave your pets at home! Learn more on our website: https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/7864/Hot-Weather-and-Your-Pet

If you see a dog in a hot car:
-Record vehicle details (make, model, color, license plate).
-Alert the management of the business.
-Call Contra Costa County Animal at (925) 335-8300.
-Stay with the dog until help arrives.

Together, we can prevent heatstroke and save lives!
