Keep your pets safe this summer by keeping them away from blue-green algae which thrives in bodies of fresh water when the weather is 24+ degrees and sunny. Cyanobacteria is incredibly toxic to animals and humans.

Pets can develop poisoning when they drink from, or even swim in, contaminated water sources. This algae may appear as pea-green-looking paint or as a green slime and is typically found in ponds and lakes, but can be present in oceans, fresh water, damp soil, outdoor fountains, and even on rocks.

If your pet is exposed to blue-green algae, signs may develop in as little as a few minutes or may take up to 12 hours to arise. If ingested, it can cause severe neurologic or liver damage. Symptoms may include drooling, disorientation, weakness, vomiting, excessive panting, collapse, seizures, respiratory failure, and could be fatal.

If you suspect your pet has been exposed to blue-green algae, give us a call immediately! You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

🎆 Fireworks Tips for Pet Parents 🎇

Fireworks can be scary for our furry friends, but a little prep can go a long way:

🎶 Play calming music to help drown out loud bangs
🚶‍♂️ Walk dogs earlier in the evening before the noise starts

If your pet needs extra help staying calm:
💊 We can prescribe calming medication
📞 Call or email us (if you’ve been seen in the last year)
🐶 Help your fur baby feel safe and secure during fireworks season
