This was Hazel's second visit to Soggie Doggie. Giving her time to figure it out was the right decision. Desire for the toy and a little help from the life jacket provided her the tools to be successful. It only gets better from here. Wait to go Hazel!

🚫🐶 Blue-Green Algae: A Deadly Danger For Dogs!

Blue-green algae might look like harmless scum or discolored water … but it's actually toxic bacteria that can make your dog very sick — or even be deadly. Just a quick swim or a sip of contaminated water is enough to cause serious harm.

Toxins from blue-green algae can lead to:
⚠️ Liver damage or failure
⚠️ Seizures, tremors, or paralysis
⚠️ Vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
⚠️ Breathing issues
⚠️ Disorientation or even coma

Symptoms can show up within 30 minutes, so always keep a close eye after water play. If you notice any of these signs, get your dog to the vet right away!

Meet Mr. Tyrant. A recent arrival to our area from the south, he has spent a lifetime retrieving ducks and living the good life swimming. At almost ten and a half his owner was noticing a decline in his spirit because he has been missing swimming so much. Luckily she found Soggie Doggie and he has found his happy again! I pretty sure this has lifted both of their spirits again. Can't wait to see that smiling face return for another.

It was big brother Gambit who closed the deal this past week. Enygma still had reservations about the idea of the pool and the ramp so big brother Gambit showed him there was nothin' to it! Having Gambit perform without hesitation kept Enygma on task. He decided that instead of chasing his monkey toy he would just keep it handy. Thanks Gambit for lending a hand!
