Lots of thunder please keep your pets safe guys

Storm train offshore 🚂⚡

Check out this line of storms lining up off the Perth coast right now! A proper conveyor belt of thunder, lightning, and heavy bursts pushing toward the metro.

Could be a decent light show as it rolls through - and fingers crossed it helps flush out some of that lingering smoke too.

Keep an eye on the sky 👀🌩️

Fyi for ppl heading to the beach in this area

⚠️ ROCKINGHAM COASTAL ALERT: Protect Your Pets

If you’re heading to the Rockingham or Safety Bay coastline today, keep a close eye on the water and the sand. A marine algae bloom (known as Trichodesmium or ‘Sea Sawdust’) has been spotted, and it’s a major red flag for local dog owners.

The Danger Zone 🚩
This isn’t just "seaweed" - it’s a bloom that thrives in this heat. While it looks like brown or rusty-red slicks/scum on the water’s surface, it can be toxic if your dog:

- Drinks the ocean water or foam.

- Licks their paws or fur after walking through it.

- Drinks from puddles near coastal sprinklers.

How to Stay Safe ✅
Spot the Slick: If the water looks like it has orange/brown "sawdust" or thick foam floating on it, stay out.

Rinse Immediately: If your dog does go near the shoreline, wash their paws and belly with fresh tap water as soon as you get home.

Check the Signs: The City of Rockingham has already started placing warning signs at beach entries like Safety Bay Beach. If the signs are up, keep your pets (and yourselves) out of the water to avoid skin irritation.

Be careful on coastal grassed areas during early morning reticulation, as runoff can concentrate the algae.

These blooms usually clear up fast when the wind shifts, but let's keep the pups safe in the meantime!

Pass this on to anyone who walks their dogs along the foreshore. 🐶👇

Canine Christmas Treats That Make the Nice List 🎄🐾

Dog Treats

Christmas is a time for giving — and why should our four-legged family members miss out?
Picture it: Christmas Day, a full plate in front of you, and those irresistible puppy-dog eyes staring straight into your soul. You know you shouldn’t share what’s on your plate… but what can you give instead?
The treats above are safer options to share with your dog this festive season. Just remember everything in moderation. If your dog has special dietary requirements or a history of pancreatitis or allergies, the best gift may be sticking to their regular diet.

🎅 The Naughty List (Do NOT feed dogs)
If your dog accidentally gets hold of any of the following, seek veterinary advice immediately:
Chocolate
Grapes
Sultanas
Macadamia nuts
Onions
Xylitol (including sugar-free gum and baked goods)
Nutmeg
Bones (exercise caution - NO cooked bones )
Christmas ham
Alcohol

📞 If this happens, call WAVES Emergency Vet Hospital on 9412 5700 and speak with our emergency team for advice.
