🌊🐾 Summer swims are one of the best parts of the season for dogs—but not all water is safe. Blue-green algae can appear like harmless green scum, yet it can be extremely toxic and even life-threatening if ingested in small amounts. Because it’s difficult to tell safe water from dangerous blooms just by looking, it’s always better to be cautious.
Keep your pup safe by avoiding stagnant, discolored, or foul-smelling water, bringing fresh drinking water on every outing, and rinsing your dog off after any swim. Staying alert to local water advisories can help prevent a fun day from turning into a serious emergency.
At Zoomin Groomin, we’re here to help pet parents stay informed and keep pups safe all summer long. 💙
