Pond scum isn’t just foul - it could be deadly to your dog.
The Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory wants you to know that anywhere there is water, pond scum may be lurking. It’s a blue-green algae that grows like crazy with warm weather and sunshine and it’s even more plentiful in drought conditions. Animals exposed to the toxins of pond scum can get really sick - and so can humans. High levels can even lead to liver failure and death.
If you’ll be frolicking with your best friend near a lake or pond, stay clear of the green water areas. You don’t need to drink it to get sick, any physical contact can put you and your pooch at risk.
