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.

What is feline leukemia virus (FeLV)?

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a virus that infects cats. It was first discovered in cats with a form of leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells). FeLV can cause a variety of diseases in addition to leukemia. Like all viruses, FeLV is a tiny microorganism that can only replicate itself inside living cells. FeLV is specific to members of the cat family and does not pose a risk to other species of animals or people.

Pet Remembrance Day can stir up a mixture of emotions for those of who have loved – and those who have felt the loss – of a special pet. It’s a day filled with memories of the happiness and fun times our furry friends brought into our lives. We remember the special bond we shared.
For those reasons, it’s also natural to feel the pang of their absence. It’s natural to recall their gentle weight warming our feet on the chilliest of winter evenings. This day provides a space for us to reflect and to grieve.
Pet Remembrance Day means honoring the pets who await us eagerly so that we may cross the Rainbow Bridge together – a team reunited. It’s a time to embrace both the joy and the sorrow, to celebrate the unforgettable moments we shared with our pets.
It’s okay to feel the loss so deeply. It’s okay to recognize their unforgettable pawprint on our hearts.

Please flood our page with pictures of your Rainbow Bridge Babies!
