The season of the Sea Hare is upon us (Jan to April) with several sea hares being reported to have already wash up upon the river and beaches of Augusta.
Sea hares are slug like creatures that excrete a purple ink toxin that are harmful enough to kill a large dog.
We ask that all dog owners please take extra precaution when visiting the beach with your companion.
Some of the reported symptoms to look out for include over-excitement, tremors, seizures, drooling or vomiting.
If you believe your dog has sniffed, licked or ingested a sea hare or is showing the above symptoms please contact us immediately.
