hi folks, we are all making sure that our dogs are keeping cool in this heat wave. Please be careful and alert to which stretches of water you are allowing your dogs to swim/paddle in. Some areas in our region have blue/green algae blooms. This stuff is extremely toxic and even in small quantities can be fatal. If you're walking in areas with these blooms please put your dog on the lead. If you don't know what it looks like, it can appear as a green, greeney brown scum on the water. Any doubts = keep your dog out. x
