Have you ever heard of ❓
It might look like harmless scum on a lake or pond, but it can be extremely dangerous for dogs.

If you suspect exposure, DON'T WAIT: seek IMMEDIATELY❗
We’re also sharing an important infographic from our friends at ASPCA Poison Control and ASPCApro to help you stay informed this summer. Learn what the symptoms are and more in our latest blog ➡️ www.evcc.com/blog/blue-green-algae-dogs/
