*************UPDATE: *************

Blue-Green Algae Alert: Hemlington Lake Water Deemed Potentially Toxic to People and Pets

Tests carried out by the Environment Agency on the water at Hemlington Lake have shown that blue/green algae levels are above the warning threshold.

The high levels make the water potentially toxic to humans and dogs, especially if it's ingested.

We are advising people to stay out of the water and keep pets well clear.

The algae occurs naturally, and Middlesbrough Council will provide an update when further tests are carried out.

🚨Algae Bloom at Hemlington Lake 🚨

We have been made aware of a severe algae bloom currently affecting Hemlington Lake🦠

⚠️ Do not allow pets to swim, drink, or come near the water.

We are awaiting further updates and guidance from the Environment Agency, and we will share any new information as it becomes available.

We’re Middlesbrough Dog Club, your friendly local dog training club with a twist… we’re all about wagging tails and smiling faces.
Based in Middlesbrough, we’re a non-profit group run entirely by volunteers who just really love dogs.

We’re more than just a training class, we’re a club. That means community, support, human and dog social events. We are here throughout your dog experience, so we care just as much about your dog’s diet, grooming and general wellbeing as we do about their recall.

We also offer a Puppy 1-1 to make sure you're setting both you and your pup up for success from the start, covering house training, mouthing, socialisation and much more.

So if you’re looking for a fun, friendly place to train, learn, and laugh with your dog, come see what we’re all about.

Call or WhatsApp for more details 07983406295, or DM the page

During our talk on Diet & Nutrition as part of the Paw-Scholars course, we always recommend www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk. It gives you all the nitty gritty details about the food you are serving your dog.

As you can see from the video they changed their ratings as new proven information becomes available and any advances in the dog food industry.

Our training courses don't just cover teaching your dog how to do the basics, we also provide you their guardians with information on handling & grooming, Diet & Nutrition, exercise, socialisation, and their general well being.

If you want to find out more about our Paw-Scholars course, then get in touch with us.
