⚠️BLUE GREEN ALGAE⚠️

Blue-green algae is a term used to describe a group of bacteria, called cyanobacteria. They are not actually algae, but the organisms got this name because they often give the appearance of algae when they clump together in bodies of water.

Blue-green algae is most common in non-flowing, fresh water such as lakes, ponds and rivers. Certain conditions such as hot summer weather can cause it to thrive and grow rapidly, forming a ‘bloom’ of blue-green algae on the water. It can also be seen during other times of the year.

Some types of blue-green algae contain toxins that can are highly poisonous and often fatal to pets. It can also cause illness in people if touched or swallowed.

🚨Call your vet immediately if you think your dog has swallowed water containing blue-green algae. The sooner they receive treatment, the higher their chances of recovery. 🚨

How are you getting on? Is there something you think you need to concentrate on with training your dog?
If you could attend a workshop on that one thing what would it be?

I'm all ears and want to help!

Message from local Rescue..

Just a small point you may not be aware of. As a rescue we deal with microchips on a daily basis. Just because your dog is microchipped does not mean it is registered to a data base. The last 5 Labradors we have taken in have been chipped but not registered. If not registered with someone like Petlog, Anibase etc you will not get your dog back if it gets lost as there are no details of the owner. We have access to where the chip was implanted but thats it, under data protection we cannot obtain keeper details. It is a legal requirement for the chip but ironically not the registration to a database. Some companies charge a monthly fee now to keep your registration. Your vet will check at the yearly visit that the dog has a chip but NOT if it is registered. Please do this as a matter of urgency as kennels are full up with strays/abandoned dog not registered and we know what happens if they cant rehome them!
